Chapter 265: Three Questions on the Water
What greeted Liu He's eyes was a lush grassland, northeast, close to Huaishui, as far as the eye could see, the whole Huaishui was in full view, and its scenery was magnificent, which was simply beyond words.
The northwest direction of the entire Zhao family is a continuous mountain range, and the mansion of the head of the Zhao family is located in the northwest corner of the Zhao family, which is located at the foot of the mountain.
To the southeast of the meadow is the back door of the house, and to the southwest is the two-story attic that I just saw.
Mountains in the northwest, water in the northeast, houses in the southeast, and buildings in the southwest divide this quiet and elegant grassland.
In the middle of Fangcaodi, there was a gazebo, and at this time, the head of the Zhao family had already walked into the pavilion and turned to look at Liu He.
Liu He stepped forward, the two sat down separately, and the head of the Zhao family said with a smile: "Before listening to the book, I want to ask the son three questions first." The first question is, what is a monarch and a minister, a father and a son? ”
Liu He didn't even think about it, "This is easy, the monarch mainly has the appearance of a monarch, and his subordinates must have the appearance of his subordinates, and the same is true between father and son." ”
The head of the Zhao family nodded noncommittally, "The second question, a father stole a neighbor's chicken, should his son go to the police?" ”
Liu He pondered for a moment and said: "What's the matter, it's also his father, just send the chicken back, it's a big deal to compensate the neighbors with some more silver taels, so that you don't have to arrest your father." ”
The head of the Zhao family still did not make any evaluation of Liu He's reply, but continued to ask: "The third question, Emperor Shun is a Ming monarch, but his father Su has designed to frame him many times, and even wants to put him to death, but Emperor Shun has always fulfilled his filial piety regardless of his previous suspicions. But if he committed a capital crime that angered the anger of the public and was imprisoned, what should Emperor Shun do? ”
"This ......" is different from the previous two questions, and this time it seems difficult for Liu He to give an answer in the first place.
This question sounds similar to the previous one, but when you think about it, it's not at the same level at all.
The first is the identity of the characters in the two questions, although they are both father and son, but the father and son before are just ordinary people, even if they commit a crime, at most it is a contradiction between the villagers, and not too many people will know.
As one of the five emperors, Emperor Shun, what he did would be seen by the world, and he was his father, and he would naturally be known to the world if he committed a capital crime, and if Emperor Shun mishandled it, it was likely that he would lose his prestige.
Secondly, as we all know, although Emperor Shun has framed Emperor Shun many times, Emperor Shun has adhered to the duty of being a son, that is, filial piety. If it is handled impartially, it is a violation of filial piety to put Su Su to death. But if it is bending the law for personal gain, it will be true, and it is really a dilemma.
The third and most important point is that Emperor Shun is an emperor, and he is different from the son of the old man who stole a chicken from the neighbor's house. That son just made a choice between filial piety and righteousness, and what made Emperor Shun embarrassed was filial piety and the world.
How to not only sit firmly in the country, but also save my father's life, this question, I am afraid that the real Emperor Shun is alive, and he will not be able to give an answer that everyone is satisfied with for a while.
Seeing that Liu He had been thinking for a long time but still to no avail, the head of the Zhao family said softly: "You don't have to be in a hurry for a while, when you finish listening to the book, you may be able to have an answer." ”
Liu He, who was puzzled, nodded helplessly when he heard this, but saw that the head of the Zhao family waved his sleeves, and there was already an extra chessboard on the stone table in front of him.
"You and I play three games, and every time you win, you can listen to my books for one more day, what do you think?"
Liu He looked at the nineteen longitudes and latitudes of the stone carved chessboard, scratched his head, frowned and said with a bitter face: "What if I lose all three games?" ”
"It doesn't matter if you lose, your copper coin is still with me, and I can listen to books for at least a day." As he spoke, the head of the Zhao family pushed over the white chess box, which symbolized a higher level of chess strength, but left the black chess that could have a first-mover advantage in his hand.
Although he doesn't know much about Go, Liu He still knows the rules of black first, and he understands it at a glance, it seems that the head of the Zhao family has no intention of being polite to himself.
Sure enough, without waiting for Liu He to nod, the head of the Zhao family started to drop his hand.
Liu He picked up a white child and held it in the air, but it didn't fall for a long time.
The head of the Zhao family said with a smile: "I have been taking the long test since the first son, do you want to set up a big formation?" ”
Liu He didn't speak, just looked at the black spot in the upper right corner of the chessboard thoughtfully, and after a while, he suddenly withdrew the white piece in his hand and said with a wicked smile: "This kind of play is too slow, let alone three games, one game will take most of the day, how can I have time to listen to books?" ”
The head of the Zhao family not only did not get angry because of Liu He's obvious cheating, but he twisted his long beard very much in agreement, and nodded incessantly, "Then tell me, is there a better way." ”
When Liu He heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, "Of course there is, it's still this chessboard, it's still this black and white, I'll teach you a new way to play." ”
The head of the Zhao family showed a hint of surprise on his face, "Is there any other way to play this chess?" ”
"Of course there is, I created my own." Liu He was ashamed.
Seeing that Liu He was so sure, the head of the Zhao family became even more interested in the kind of play he said, "Come, let's talk about it while we go." ”
Liu He smiled, and his eyebrows fluttered and he started talking.
"The kind of play just now, come up and occupy a corner of the chessboard first, and if it sounds good, it is called layout, and if it is not good, it is called taking off your pants and farting, which is too troublesome." Liu He said, raised his little finger, and bounced the first white piece that had just fallen by the head of the Zhao family off the chessboard.
The head of the Zhao family looked at the white child outside the chessboard and seemed to be very puzzled.
Although there are many kinds of openings in Go, there is always a corner to be hung first, which is called to occupy a small corner, in order to gain momentum.
But listening to what Liu He said, this kind of start, which has almost become a fixed situation, seems to be useless.
Liu He saw the doubts of the head of the Zhao family, and pretended to be profound: "You say, on the entire chessboard, where is the most important?" ”
The head of the Zhao family, who seemed to have been surrounded by the clouds and mountains that had been fooled by Liu He, stared at the chessboard that was all too familiar on weekdays, thought for a long time, and shook his head.
Liu He took out a master's posture, pointed to the center of the chessboard and said, "Why is there three hundred and sixty-one points on the nineteen-way chessboard?" Of course, the extra point is the most important. ”
Liu He said, picked up a white piece and put it in the middle of the chessboard, "The other three hundred and sixty points can find their corresponding positions on the chessboard, but here, not to mention occupying the center, there is no place on the entire chessboard that can compete with it, so this is the most important place, you don't have to think about the beginning, you can land directly here, it's right." ”
