After standing up, Han Rui realized that he was less than a foot away from Li Shimin, and he was still facing each other, and before he could see clearly, an inexplicable feeling of oppression arose, and when he was a little dazed and at a loss, in an instant, Li Jing took two steps forward, reached out and grabbed Han Rui's belt, and dragged it back.

Involuntarily, he retreated, three or four feet away, Li Jing let go, pinched Han Rui's arm, and then smiled: "Your Majesty, Weichen and others, how dare they deceive the king, it is indeed because they are immersed in the game and forget themselves, disturbing the holy driver, and I am terrified in my heart, please give your majesty a sin." ”

"Your Majesty forgives you." The voices of the generals came and went, and they were not neat, and they didn't hear much panic, maybe it was really hob meat, and they were not afraid of anything.

Will you really scold these generals for some trivial things? It is equivalent to self-destruction of the Great Wall, Li Shimin will not do it anyway, his attitude is kind, and he said with interest: "This is chess, why is it not like it, why does it cause you to be drunk and obsessed." ”

"Your Majesty, this chess has the image of the moon and the stars, and it is not an idle game." Li Jing said with great interest: "The two armies are facing each other, retreating horizontally and vertically, and strategizing. ”

Li Shimin was naturally surprised, a little suspicious, bent down and sat down, and asked with a smile: "What is the way to move?" ”

"The general does not leave the Nine Palaces......" recited Professor Han Rui's song recipe, Li Jing hesitated: "Your Majesty, the chessboard chess pieces are simple, I'm afraid it's ......."

What is simple, it is simply crude, using pieces of paper and leaves as chess pieces, and it is also a shame that Li Jing and others do not care, but it is not good to replace Li Shimin, the identity is different, and it is even more important.

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and found that the accompanying imperial historian had begun to move, so naturally he would not give them a chance, waved his hand and ordered, and in a moment, several craftsmen hurried over.

In fact, in the opinion of the imperial historian, the king of the south, although Qingyuan is idle like a crane, it is still not good, and if it is good, it will die in his country, not to mention other things such as playthings like losing his mind, but he advises and admonishes, and sometimes, he must also distinguish the occasion, than now, the garden gathering, the game between the monarch and the minister, is also an elegant thing, as long as the Son of Heaven is not immersed in it, there is no need to care so much.

Therefore, when he saw Li Shimin recruiting craftsmen, he did not dissuade him, but stood quietly, quite a cold bystander.

The craftsman who can listen to the errand in the palace, the craftsmanship must be extraordinary, I heard that I want to make a vice chess, I was relieved, carefully inquired about the specifications and materials needed, immediately took out the tools I carried with me, and started on the spot, and the cooperation was very tacit, some people pondered the chess pieces, some people cut the chessboard, the time was not large, and a new chess was made.

Because it is too simple and ordinary, if Li Shimin is not willing to wait any longer, a few craftsmen must have made bold speeches, asking them to carve dragon patterns and the like on the chessboard or chess pieces to make them more exquisite, otherwise it will really damage the face of their master craftsmen if they publicize it.

Waving off the craftsman and holding a smooth and round chess piece, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and asked with a smile: "You, who will accompany me to play a game?" ”

The generals look at each other, you push me to let me, playing chess with the emperor, it is clearly asking for trouble, winning, naturally don't dare, losing, that is an inevitable thing, however, how to lose, is also very particular, must not leave the slightest trace, otherwise the emperor should be angry again, feel that you deliberately release water, in fact, it is a kind of contempt.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the emperor has always been a lord who is not easy to serve, this Li Jing and others deeply understand, if they are present, there is no other choice, now there are so many people, why let themselves be guilty, naturally push up.

Hmph, Li Shimin was secretly angry, feeling that these rough horsemen were more and more untidy, they didn't raise their heads, stretched out their fingers at random, and said lightly: "You, come here." ”

What is called the acquaintance of the monarch and the minister, it is the current situation, at the moment when Li Shimin bowed his head, the generals regressed and dispersed in an instant, and there were only a few people left in the pavilion of Nuoda, most of them were accompanying palace maids, naturally, and Han Rui, who was still ignorant and confused until now, and stood in the middle of the direction of Li Shimin's finger.

In fact, Han Rui was not standing there, it was very unfortunate, the general standing next to him, seeing that the situation was not good, performed the stunt of shifting and transposing, a pull, dragging Han Rui to his position, but he quietly and silently walked away, the ingenious technique and footwork, he was definitely a master.

Anyway, anyway, Han Rui was lucky, and asked Li Shimin to accompany him to the game, and when he found this situation, Li Jing immediately frowned, did not retreat, and stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's still a game between the minister and His Majesty." ”

Li Shimin raised his head, glanced at the tiger's eyes, and said with an indifferent smile: "I am not familiar with the new chess move, how dare I play against Senior Brother Yao, wait for me to play a few games with him, and then fight with you." ”

can make the emperor call him a brother, Li Jing has always been under great pressure, and when he heard Li Shimin's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and the expressions of the people next to him were also very weird, if the emperor knew, among the people present, the most powerful chess player was Han Rui, and he would dare to play against him.

Also knowing the emperor's intentions, it is not so easy to change, Li Jing sighed inaudibly, walked to Han Rui's side, and when he crossed over, he whispered: "Defeat is not allowed to win." ”

Han Rui lowered his head slightly, indicating that he understood, and he didn't dare to slack off, stepped forward slightly, closer, his heart was uncontrollable, he beat slowly and heavily, and swallowed his throat, Han Rui stumbled and moved to the opposite side of Li Shimin, as if sensing his gaze passing over him, nervousness began to spread, and his forehead was faintly sweating.

It is a very normal physiological reaction, as long as you understand what the emperor means, it should be this kind of reaction, whether it is Li Shimin, or the general next to him, or even the temple maid, no one thinks it is strange, but feels that Han Rui is relatively calm, and some people are even more unbearable when they meet the emperor for the first time.

When he didn't give in, it was naturally Li Shimin who acted first in chess, talented and intelligent, and after a few moves, he understood the principle of chess, and immediately showed the same interest as Li Jing and others, showing an enthusiastic expression, only in the first game, Li Shimin fully showed his military genius, and Han Rui was defeated, leaving only two remnants of chess in the circle, and his destruction was imminent.

Naturally, the soldiers were facing each other, and Li Shimin also lost a few chess pieces, but he swept the chessboard with a big victory, but he seemed to be a little unhappy, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said: "If you don't move the chess for a long time, do you want to abandon the son and admit defeat?" ”

Others secretly shouted that it was not good, this was a precursor to anger, but they knew why Li Shimin was angry, because Han Rui's performance was too clumsy, even if he wanted to lose, he should not be so explicit, just don't move in the face of danger, and actually go away to send food, let alone Li Shimin, they can't see it.

Shaking their heads one after another, understanding in their hearts, but unable to accept them emotionally, Li Jing sighed lightly, and was about to step forward to relieve the siege, but when he saw Han Rui hesitate, he stretched out his hand to jump off the horse, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, General Xiaochen, the situation of being trapped." ”

Well, everyone was shocked, just looking at Li Shimin's majestic and refreshing chess killing, but they didn't pay attention to Han Rui's horse was already quietly lurking, ready to pull out the flag and take command at any time.

With his eyes like a torch, Li Shimin was not discouraged, but laughed loudly: "It's wonderful, it's my negligence, come again." ”

It was indeed negligence, everyone thought that Han Rui would not dare to win chess, and took the initiative to send food, but they didn't expect that people did it on purpose, attacked him unprepared, and the jumping horse general finally had the last laugh.

Covering his sleeves and wiping his sweat, Han Rui subconsciously glanced at Li Jing, saw him bowing slightly, blinked his eyes, said that he understood, and opened the chess game again, estimating that Li Shimin was already familiar with chess moves, Han Rui no longer hid his clumsiness, immediately changed his style, launched a fierce offensive, three strikes and five divisions, and won the victory with an absolute advantage.

Subsequently, the wind swept into the clouds, exploded seven games in a row, and then the tenth game began, Han Rui only cared about bowing his head to play chess, but he didn't pay attention, at this time, Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and all the generals in the pavilion saw it, all of them were frightened, and they had the heart to remind Han Rui, but it was not good to speak directly, so they had to stare dryly, and they were secretly anxious next to him.

The Son of Heaven was angry, and there seemed to be a solemn aura in the air, Han Rui seemed to be unaware, maintaining a posture of bowing his head and bowing his head, but the movements in his hands were not slow, as if he was addicted to fast attack, and took the most extreme way, exchanging chess for chess, and solving Li Shimin's rooks and horses in the shortest possible time, although he lost a lot, but if he moved three more steps, he could win, and it was worth it.

Just when Han Rui was calculating the gains and losses, Li Shimin didn't move for a long time, wiping his sweat with a silk scarf, frowning and thinking about how to resolve the crisis, not panicking, to be calm, and took a breath gently, Li Shimin raised his head and looked at Han Rui left and right, this kid, it's really ...... Wait a minute.

Suddenly found that Han Rui seemed to be looking at something, Li Shimin's heart moved slightly, followed his line of sight to look at the chessboard, his heart was suddenly overjoyed, stretched out his hand to hold the chess sideways, one more step, he could trap Han Rui's shogi, and there was absolutely no way to save it, after confirming it again and again, the stuffiness that had been accumulated for a long time was swept away, and Li Shimin only felt refreshed and in a very comfortable mood.

Han Rui was also very straightforward, and directly abandoned his son and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has lost." ”

"Haha, come again." Li Shimin smiled and said with a smile, making it clear that he wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and resolve his hatred.

Taking this opportunity, a palace maid hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the banquet is about to begin, and the queen invites you to come over." ”

The generals also helped to persuade, and a few people even directly hugged their stomachs and shouted hunger, after the victory, Li Shimin was in a happy mood, and naturally listened to people's words, followed the good flow, brushed up his sleeves, called everyone, and set up a fight.

Congratulations, until Li Shimin disappeared in front of him, Han Rui let out a long breath, rubbing his almost stiff neck, as well as his numb and sore knees, crying bitterly.

"Boy, what a boldness, even His Majesty dares to win, and I'm not afraid that he will be angry and let people drag you out and kill you." Li Jing said, a little frightened.

"What?" Han Rui was a little dazed, and hurriedly said: "Didn't you say it Li Gong, Xu Sheng is not allowed to lose, but I will act according to your orders." ”

Li Jing was slightly stunned, thought about it, couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head and said: "Boy, it's because you're too nervous, listen to it, I'm obviously letting you only lose, not win." ”
