"You puppeteers, don't pay attention to it, a little bit of it is heard by the officials who are good at chasing the wind and shadows, and they will say that they will join you in the court." Li Jing scolded with a smile, but it revealed a strong sense of maintenance.

"What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to give your majesty another lecture."

Like hob meat on the board, the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, there is nothing to worry about, anyway, it is just a few innocuous jokes, with Li Shimin's mind, he will definitely not mind.

"If you are not afraid of instructions, you are afraid of deducting money, and it is difficult to explain when you go home."

"And I didn't listen to any explanation, thinking that we took the money and went to spend the day drinking, alas."

"That's it, I'll tell you, ...... that day."

All of a sudden, this place has become a place to complain, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, anyway, they are brothers who know the roots, and they are not afraid of other people's jokes.

Li Jing smiled and shook his head, beckoned and said: "Mao Gong, I will introduce you, this is Han Rui, a young and talented man in Yangzhou, a nephew of one of my subordinates, if there is something in the future, if I can't take care of it, you will take care of it for me." ”

"I've seen Shu Guogong." Han Rui hurriedly saluted and looked at him closely, this is Li Shixian, the general of the Right Martial Marquis, who Li Shimin called a pure minister and has worked hard to entrap him all his life.

Li Shiyun was surprised, glanced at Li Jing, and said with a smile: "Since Senior Brother Medicine said this, how can I sit idly by." ”

Han Rui thanked him again, thinking that Li Shixian, in the era of Li Yuan, was deeply trusted, until the current Li Shimin, is also very trusted and relied on, if history has not changed, Li Zhi will be on the throne in the future, and he will be in the prime minister, and he will be regarded as the Great Wall by the imperial court.

is another character who is in and out of the picture, Han Rui is secretly envious, why are there so many cattle people with the surname Li, uh, even if they are given a surname, they are so powerful.

Li Jing reminded: "Mao Gong, it's time for you to move." ”

Looking down and muttering for a moment, Li Shiyun smiled bitterly: "Why is chess so difficult to play, it's not as simple as Go." ”

Ha, Han Rui was dumbfounded, for a person who even had to study the rules of Go for more than half a month, but in the end he still didn't figure it out, and changed to chess, Li Shiyun's words were an extremely heavy blow.

"Okay, today it's chess, tomorrow it's Go, do you want to regret it?" Li Jing said with a smile: "This is not like Li Maogong's style of acting in a word. ”

"But I fell for you." Li Shiyun sighed and said: "It stands to reason that there are several times fewer chess pieces, and the playing method should be simple, but it is several times more difficult." ”

"Let's learn, it is estimated that in two days, Your Majesty should also look for you." Li Jing said: "As far as I am concerned, it must be that you are playing Go, and you didn't give in, and you forced him to be anxious, so you made chess to toss us." ”

"It's definitely not my responsibility, playing against Your Majesty, which one is not cautious, lest you win accidentally." Li Shiyun was suspicious: "I think the biggest possibility should be that Senior Brother Yao killed several great dragons of His Majesty on a whim, so he caused this disaster." ”

You push me, I push you, anyway, you just don't admit that it's your own reason, but Han Rui was dumbfounded, isn't Li Shimin open-minded, why is he so stingy, he has to worry about losing a game of chess for a few days, isn't it a tragedy for himself.

"Don't play anymore, I'm going to think about it for a while." It seemed that he had lost the game, Li Shiyun threw away the chess pieces and said casually: "Han Rui, do you know chess, you can play with him." ”

"Uh, I don't understand, what's the rule?" Han Rui said curiously, after all, reading chess games is not as easy to comprehend as someone teaching them, and if you practice it again, you can learn it immediately.

Li Jing was full of interest and began to teach and say: "Look at it, there are six kinds of chess, which are ......"

Sure enough, there was no cannon, Han Rui blinked his eyes and listened carefully, but in the end he was still confused, and finally simply set up a chess formation with Li Jing and fought each other.

"No, you shouldn't go this way......"

"Wrong, this move is ......"

At the beginning, Li Jing was very patient, but after a long time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and sighed: "Forget it, Mao Gong, you think it clearly, let's replace you." ”

Li Shiyun chuckled, although there was not the slightest hint of mockery, Han Rui felt a blush, and defended: "This kind of chess move is different from what I have learned. ”

"How did you learn how to move?" Li Jing asked casually.

Han Rui complained: "The chess I learned, the two sides of the general, should be separated from the Chu River and the Han realm, and the two sides should be displayed according to the appearance of the marching formation, and each chess piece has a special way of moving, such as the general Xiangshiwei can only move in the middle tent, unlike this, all mixed into a group, messy, without the slightest rule." ”

Marching in formation, Li Jing and Li Shiyun looked at each other, showing some interest, and asked Han Rui to continue speaking.

"My kind of chess, there are seven kinds of chess pieces, and there is one more cannon than this, uh, the cannon is...... Catapults, beating people in the air. ”

Han Rui explained, found pen and ink, used a small piece of wood as a ruler, skillfully drew a square chessboard, deliberately marked the position of each chess piece, and then tore the paper and picked the leaves into chess, wrote the name of the chess, and placed it clearly, before he said with satisfaction: "The Chu River and the Han Boundary are clearly distinguished, this is chess." ”

Li Jing asked wittily: "It's a little interesting, how to move?" ”

"The general does not leave the nine palaces, the soldiers do not go out of office, like flying to the four corners of the camp in the four directions, the horses rush step by step, the cannon must fight a son, the car goes straight to the west and the east, only the pawn can only take one step, and there is no trace of crossing the river." Han Rui recited and explained, with Li Jing's wisdom, he could fully understand it, and after a few more steps, he fully understood.

However, don't look at Li Jing's march to fight, attacking the city and plundering the land, besieging the city and sweeping the reinforcements, everything, a few years ago, even with thousands of light horses, swept across the desert plain, and made amazing achievements, but if you talk about the war on paper, how can he, who is a beginner in chess, an amateur like Han Rui, an opponent who has several amateurs and is proficient in the endgame of the past dynasties.

"Senior Brother Yao, you have lost eight games in a row, take a break, let me come." Li Shiyun kindly persuaded him, and despite Li Jing's opposition, he immediately turned the chessboard, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Boy, this time look at how I break your Chinese army." ”

"Shu Guogong is so arrogant, but you also have to be careful, lest you use a pawn to force me with no way out." Han Rui said with a smile, the feeling of bullying a famous general is really refreshing.

It's really a shame, Li Shiyun's face changed greatly, and he said: "Don't be noisy, we will see the truth on the battlefield." ”

"Come, come, come, Lao Cheng, I'll be the banker, let's hurry up and game, guess how many hands Li Mao's function supports." I don't know when, the generals didn't complain, they crowded into the pavilion one after another, Cheng Yanjin even took the pen and ink account book, drew in circles, and actually did the dealer's business.

"Remember, just now he was checkmate in the thirteenth hand, and now it should be a little better, I have the fifteenth hand."

"Impetuous and impetuous, it is a taboo for soldiers, and if you are confused, you may be defeated in the tenth hand."

Hmph, hearing these remarks, Li Shiyun was disdainful on the surface, but secretly refreshed himself in his heart, forced himself to calm down, breathed for a while, exuded strong self-confidence all over his body, and drove directly up. ”

If in modern times, some people may feel that this is unreasonable, but in ancient times, the generals thought that marching and fighting, not only to be able to soldiers, but also to be extremely high for the generals themselves, or brave or wise, and their skills must not be bad, otherwise sooner or later they will be overturned.

"Haha, tenth hand, who won the game?" Cheng Yanjin laughed and said, anyway, as long as you don't hit all of them, you will definitely lose and win, but you always win more and lose less, and you can make money.

Just because of a momentary mistake, he couldn't hold ten hands, Li Shiyun was naturally unwilling, and shouted: "Come again." ”

"What's more?" There was a voice that came suddenly, Gao Lang rhymed, very unique, if it was in normal times, everyone would definitely recognize the identity of the comer.

But now, Li Shixian, who has been immersed in the state of competition, did not pay careful attention, and replied casually: "Of course, it is another game, and if you don't kill others, you will never give up." ”

After a silence, the voice continued to come, and it was actually praised: "Mao Gong is so heroic, but there are no soldiers and horses here, how can you kill it?" ”

“…… Your Majesty. ”

The voice was so familiar, and the inspiration flashed, Li Shiyun exclaimed, his wrist shook slightly, the chess pieces fell to the ground suddenly, and he didn't realize it, he quickly stood up, and the generals next to him were also panicked.

Han Rui was also frightened, he didn't expect that he would meet Li Shimin in this situation, his mind was a little blank, fortunately, he was originally kneeling, but now it is nothing more than the degree of prostration, relatively speaking, it is still more time-saving and labor-saving, but when he found that there were more pairs of red and yellow boots around him, he felt uncomfortable.

"What is this?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

The most qualified person to answer on behalf of the generals is naturally Li Jing, his expression is very calm, but his attitude is respectful and said: "Your Majesty, this is chess, Weichen and others, they are fascinated by the game for a while, and they did not welcome it, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you." ”

"Those who do not know are not guilty, as long as they are not intentionally neglected, I will blame you." Li Shimin said slowly, and the implication was very clear, how could you generals, all of whom are extraordinary and deaf, not find out about their arrival.

The generals looked at each other, this is really hard to explain, but it can't be explained either, everyone knows that the emperor is open-minded in major matters, but he likes to take care of some small sections, everyone suffers deeply, is afraid, and does not want to suffer this kind of suffering.

An official who accompanied him stood up and rebuked him sharply: "You and others gathered here, shouting and shouting, roaring like thunder, what kind of system, and even disturbing the holy driver, it is disrespectful, and it should be ...... according to the crime."

Without waiting for the generals to argue, Li Shimin waved his hand and said lightly: "Stand down." ”

Very interesting, the man immediately disappeared into the crowd, Li Shimin continued to smile: "You guys get up, it's noisy here, are you complaining that you have snubbed you?" ”

"How dare you."

This relaxed attitude made all the generals feel a little at ease, and they stood up one after another, and so did Han Rui, only to find that he might as well continue to kneel after getting up.
