The road was a little muddy after the rain, and Yunyang walked on the street, seemingly strolling leisurely but secretly vigilant.

He did not go directly back to the palace, but walked in the direction of the east of the city, the slightly remote streets were lined with green trees, and most of the occasional pedestrians were in a hurry, and sometimes he heard the sound of chickens and dogs barking from afar.

Yunyang walked to the door of a mansion, and when the burly porter saw that it was him, he greeted him with a smile and said, "Xiao Langjun, why is he alone today?" ”

"Oh, I have some personal matters and want to visit Mr. Yang, so my family Langjun never came."

"Then please follow me in, Ah Lang happened to be playing chess with Mr. Guo in the study."

This is the second time that Yunyang has come to this Yang Mansion, and with the gatehouse passing through the courtyard to the study, Yang Yingchuan said with a slight difference after seeing that it was Yunyang:

"What is the important matter that Xiaoyang came here today?"

Yunyang hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I'm going to visit Mr. by the way today." ”

"You have the intention." Yang Yingchuan smiled and motioned for him to sit down, and Yunyang sat aside and watched them play chess. The chess skills of the two old men are very high, and it is obvious that the chess opponents are indistinguishable from each other for a while.

After a while, Yang Yingchuan frowned, and another old man finally showed a smile on his face and said, "I lost you a few games in a row last time, and now I have finally pulled back a game." ”

Yang Yingchuan smiled freely, "This game is considered an old man's loss." ”

The old man named Guo Lizhen stroked his beard, and suddenly glanced at Yunyang and said in a mysterious way: "Watching Xiao Langjun watch chess in his heart, I think I have a lot of experience in this way, what do you think of this chess game?" ”

Yun Yang showed a smiling expression and said:

"The position of Tian Yuan was occupied by Kuroko, and the two armies fought, and Kuroko had the upper hand. Even if Bai Zi has the intention to kill the enemy, he can't do it. If it continues, it will inevitably collapse without three hands, and the victory seems to be doomed......"

Guo Lizhen smiled when she heard this: "Oh, listening to Xiao Langjun's words, it seems that he is quite unimpressed, could it be that there is a way to break the situation?" ”

"It seems that the victory is in hand...... Yun Yang also picked up a chess piece and said with a smile: "If this word is left here, what do the two seniors think?" ”

The two old men were slightly stunned, obviously not expecting that Yunyang really had the ability to break the game. Yang Yingchuan looked at the chessboard for a while before saying: "This son can save the overall situation and retreat from the enemy." You can also attack and clear the way to weaken the sunspots, and turn defeat into victory. What a great move! ”

"On the night of the first yuan, a green jade case. Yuan Xi made the old man sigh to himself, and now Xiao Langjun's son is even more eye-opening. The afterlife is terrifying......"

Guo Lizhen shook his head and smiled: "It seems that we are old......"

Yang Yingchuan stroked his beard and nodded:

"Yes, now that there are many wizards, it's time for us old immortals to retreat into the background. However, my Tang Dynasty poetry is prosperous, and there are countless self-feather poets. But there are few people who write lyrics, and I have occasionally heard a few, and their lyrics are also mediocre. However, this song [Qingyu Case. Yuan Xi] is really surprised by the old man, its conception is exquisite, the language is exquisite, subtle and tactful, and the aftertaste is endless, which can be described as a pioneering work! ”

When it comes to poetry in later generations, it is mainly based on Tang and Song poems. The Tang Dynasty flourished in poetry, while the Song Dynasty flourished in words. Xin Qiji's first Qingyu case. Yuan Xi was originally a hand-me-down, but now it has been pushed forward by Yunyang, and the appearance of a dynasty has immediately eclipsed all the poems written about the night of the Lantern Festival. It's no wonder that the two veterans in the literary world have feelings.

Yang Yingchuan was a little curious and said, "It's just that Du Fu has never heard of this person before?" I don't know who it is. ”

"I don't know, but I heard that this person has not yet reached the crown, and he appeared in Tianxiangfang as a slave. Therefore, some people say that his two poems are not from him, but by someone else, and there are different opinions. ”

"It's just hearsay, and how can someone who can write such poems be vulgar?"

Seeing the two old men talking about themselves, Yun Yang smiled and said nothing. There is no wave in his heart, whether he is a poet or a chess player, it is not his achievement. It's just a perk as a traverser.

"Don't talk about that." Guo Lizhen suddenly looked at Yunyang with a smile and said: "Seeing that Xiaoyou's chess skills are so profound, the old man is itching, can you want to play a game?" ”

"Uh......" Yun Yang was slightly stunned, and was about to say yes, but saw a slave and maid walk in and hand over a secret letter to Yang Yingchuan.

Yang Yingchuan didn't shy away from looking at it in front of the two of them, only to see that his face was heavy, and he couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing, his eyes showing sadness and anger.

Yun Yang looked curious, not knowing what was written on the secret letter that could make this usually amiable old man's face so ugly.

Guo Lizhen, who is friends with Yang Yingchuan, is naturally well aware of the fact that the other party is a staff member of the palace, and although he has doubts in his heart at this moment, he is not easy to ask.

However, Yang Yingchuan thought about it for a while, and still spoke: "Yang Guozhong relied on the trust of the Holy Lord to recommend his henchman Xian Yu Zhongtong as the envoy of Jiannan Festival in November last year, and ordered him to lead his troops to attack Nanzhao, but he was defeated, and 60,000 soldiers were killed. However, Yang Guozhong not only did not punish Xian Yu Zhongtong, but also made great achievements for him, and 60,000 heroic souls were buried in the Nanzhao wilderness because of their great achievements, but they didn't even have the name of martyrdom, how unfortunate! ”

"What!"

Guo Lizhen, who had already passed the age of ear shun, was also furious when he heard this, his face was so angry that his face was pale, his whole body trembled, and he scolded with righteous indignation: "A good Yang Guozhong dares to deceive his superiors and subordinates and fool His Majesty, it is really a crime that deserves death!" ”

Yang Yingchuan shook his head and sighed:

"Now that the ministers are in charge, crowding out the loyal and good, and using traitors, even if people of insight have the heart to help the Tang Dynasty, they can't do it. Regarding the Nanzhao War, he lied about the military situation, and no one in the court corrected him, which can be seen. Instead of learning a lesson, Yang Guozhong lost his troops and surrendered his generals, but once again asked the Holy Shang to send troops to attack Nanzhao.

Now it is even more forced to recruit troops in Chang'an, Luoyang, Henan, and Hebei, making the people of the entire Central Plains mourn all over the wilderness, and they can't live in fear. ”

At this time, a person who looked like a family man walked in, and first said to Yang Yingchuan: "I've seen Mr. Yang." ”

After that, he gestured to Yunyang, and only then did he whisper to Guo Lizhen: "Ah Lang, Erniang has come to see you." ”

The indignant old man in his heart looked a little better when he heard this, and he got up and said to Yang Yingchuan, "Yang Gong, there is a bit of an urgent matter at home...... See you again another day. ”

Yang Yingchuan nodded and got up to see him off, and Yunyang also followed him at the door to see the other party leave.
