Chapter 36 Gambling on Chess

In the winter of the third year of the Apocalypse, the Donglin Party finally made a desperate gamble and launched a large-scale attack on the Eunuch Party. For a time, the impeachment of the Forbidden City was overwhelming, filling the celebrant who specialized in handling the Chapter.

Some of these pieces were written by one person, and some were signed by two or even three people. The impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party and the eunuch of Dongchang, was actually jointly issued by more than 70 members of the Donglin Party, and the momentum was very terrifying.

Moreover, the scope of the Donglin Party's attack was very large, and almost all the backbone elements of the Eunuch Party were spared. Wei Zhongxian needless to say, and the "Five Tigers" of Wenchen under him: Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the imperial history of the left capital, Wu Chunfu, the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple, Tian Ji of the Shangshu of the Military Department, Ni Wenhuan, the secretary of the Taichang Temple, and Li Kuilong, the imperial history of the left deputy capital; and the military generals "Five Biao": Zuo Dudu, Jinyi Wei Du Commander Tian Ergeng, Jinyi Wei Du Commander Xu Xianchun, Jinyi Wei Commander Cui Yingyuan, Dongchang Criminal Officer Sun Yunhe, Jinyi Wei Shi Yang Yuan, all of them were besieged by the Donglin Party.

Eunuchs are by no means good, they don't fight back, they don't scold back, they don't have this kind of noble feelings*. When Guan Ning entered the East Factory at night, Wei Zhongxian gathered to discuss the major matter of how to fight back against the Donglin Party, because at that time, Yang Lian had already taken the lead in writing to impeach Wei Zhongxian.

Seeing that the Donglin Party had torn its face, the members of the Eunuch Party also moved when they heard the news. "Five Tigers" and "Five Biao" needless to say, Wei Zhongxian's henchmen are very numerous, as well as "Ten Dogs", "Ten Children", and "Forty Grandchildren", and at this time they also wrote to impeach the Donglin Party.

And the Qi Party, the Zhejiang Party, and the Chu Party, which are attached to the party, are not willing to be lonely. Since the Wanli period, these parties have been fighting with the Donglin Party and have won and lost each other. Since the apocalypse ascended the throne, the Donglin Party has gained power because of their merits, and the Qichu Zhejiang Party can be described as a complete defeat. They were the most dismissed officials in this Jingcha, and they were the real victims, so they also had the greatest resentment against the Donglin Party.

All of a sudden, the two camps scolded each other in the air, and there was a miasma of smoke and chicken feathers in the court.

However, the apocalypse did not speak, and neither side could help the other, and it reached a stalemate for a while.

The outside was disrupted, but inside the Forbidden City was orderly, as usual. In the past few days, the apocalypse has not summoned Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen is finally relieved that he can live his own small life in Wenhua Hall for a few days.

Since Lin Youkun was ordered to protect the Wenhua Palace, he has been extremely loyal to his duties, and he is almost inseparable from Zhu Youzhen's side. And although Guan Ning hated Lin Youkun so much, on the surface, he had to pretend to be familiar at first sight and hated to see each other late.

Therefore, in the past few days, the Wenhua Hall has been calm, and I can't feel the oppressive atmosphere of the mountain rain outside the palace at all.

While he was idle, Zhu Youzhen finally urged Guan Ning to move his own silver from Wucheng Pavilion. For a whole day after that, Zhu Youzhen didn't do anything, just locked himself in the room where the silver was stored and counted the money!

This number is really a problem. The silver before he crossed it, if it was less, it would be less, who made his predecessor too loser, and only cared about collecting yellow pictures. But after crossing over, Zhu Youzhen clearly remembered that the Apocalypse rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver at one time.

But now that the numbers come and go, gold is one tael and a lot, but silver is only 50,000 taels, which is directly discounted by 50,000.

After asking Guan Ning, I learned that the original emperor's rewards to the clan and the lords were to be paid half of the household treasury and the inner treasury according to the regulations. The 1,000 taels of gold and 50,000 taels of silver in this inner money were distributed in full, but the household department did not even give a penny of silver.

Moreover, people have a high-sounding reason: no money!

In order to be angry, Guan Ning also vividly learned the original words of the official of the household department: "Please return to His Royal Highness King Ning, the annual income of the household department is only more than three million taels of silver, and only one expenditure on the border affairs in eastern Liaodong requires more than two million taels." The remaining hundreds of thousands of taels of silver have to be distributed to officials, pay the salaries of the guards in various places, provide relief to the victims, repair the river work, and deal with foreign tributes, etc., which is simply overstretched. Don't hide it from your father-in-law, the household department still owes the local officials the year before last and has not paid it! Liaodong's military salary must not be moved, and we are also a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice! Please also ask His Royal Highness King Ning to give some grace, wait for the household department to be loose, and pay off the old debts, and then send the reward to the Wenhua Palace. ”

Zhu Youzhen knew that there was no drama when he heard it. The debts can only be owed more and more, and the Ming Dynasty has come to such a situation again, and it also points to the fact that the household can turn losses into profits? Pull it down, just if there is no such thing, forget it!

However, after counting the money for a few days, Zhu Youzhen also felt bored. Because he doesn't really like money, he just likes to spend it. Even if the gold and silver mountains are placed here and cannot be spent, isn't it equivalent to the treasurer of a bank vault?

What's even more depressing is that the beauties around me are like clouds, but they can only look at it, not touch it! Rui'er looked at Zhu Youzhen very closely, for fear that he would not be able to control it for a while and cause him to die of poison, so she didn't let any palace maids serve Zhu Youzhen, let alone the four sisters of Meilan and Zhuju. Even Yiyi, who is not yet an adult, Rui'er also asked her to hide far away, beware of Zhu Youzhen's beastly nature.

In a previous life, a man's greatest pursuit in life was nothing more than two things: money and women. Now Comrade Zhu Youzhen seems to have both of these things, but they are like a mirror, painting cakes to satisfy hunger. It's been a day and a lot, what's the point?

On this day, Guan Ning saw Zhu Youzhen lying on the case again and sighed, and hurriedly stepped forward to flatteringly: "Lord Wang, but you feel bored?" ”

Zhu Youzhen felt that Guan Ning was his bosom friend at this time, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right!" ”

Guan Ning smiled: "Why don't you go and get a few canaries for the prince?" That thing sounds so good! ”

Zhu Youzhen was full of expectations, but when he heard this, he was deflated. What's the meaning of this thing? Caged birds, that is a big hobby of the children of the Eight Banners who have nothing to do, but my brother is not good at this. Besides, seeing things and thinking about people, don't you and the canary also have the same disease, they are both in a cage, can't you get rid of it?

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was not interested, Guan Ning asked tentatively: "Or, the slave accompanies the prince to roll the dice and gamble money?" ”

Zhu Youzhen's eyes lit up. That's right, my brother is a mahjong master, and I didn't have time to play a game in the past, but now it's good, there's only time left. Don't worry so much, let's talk about the big battle for 300 rounds!

But after asking carefully, Zhu Youzhen was dumbfounded. It turned out that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, China's number one quintessential mahjong card has not yet been invented, at this time to play dice, but it is a simple dot than the size, there is really no technical content.

And the horse tag in the Fengxing Palace, that is, the pai gow of the previous life, is not very good at it.

Guan Ning even talked about several games, but Zhu Youzhen was staring at him with big eyes, and he hadn't even heard of it.

Guan Ning was also a little anxious, thinking that this prince was too stupid, how could he do nothing! In the end, he asked with a try-out attitude: "Can the prince play Go?" ”

"Yes!" Zhu Youzhen finally cheered up.

Thinking about his previous life, You Jian often messed around on the Yicheng Go Internet. He played chess in a wild way, and he never learned it seriously, but after a long time, he also mixed up with an amateur third dan. Although he may not even be able to play Go under the net, he still has a lot of experience in killing pure enthusiasts like himself.

And his greatest pleasure is to cut Koreans and Japanese. You must know that Yicheng is a worldwide Go platform, and Go enthusiasts from mainland China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and even Europe and the United States can play directly online.

You Jian became obsessed with Go from elementary school to college, and played at least a few thousand games in Yicheng. Although he has not made much progress, every time he wins against a Korean or a Japanese, he can always be proud for a while, as if he is also a Chinese player participating in the Three Kingdoms Go Tournament and can add glory to the country.

Seeing that Guan Ning, a dead eunuch, could actually play Go, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel that people can't look like people and the sea can't fight. Since there is no other way to entertain, let's play a few games!

Guan Ning saw that Zhu Youzhen was going to play Go, so he hurriedly ordered the little eunuch to bring the chess pieces on the chessboard. When Zhu Youzhen looked carefully, he saw that the white son was as warm as jade, soft but not transparent, with a slight emerald green color; The sunspot is pitch black and moist, with a ring of royal blue brilliance around it. Looking at the chessboard again, it is also made of yellow rosewood, with a clear texture and a hint of the fragrance of logs.

Guan Ning saw that Zhu Youzhen looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, this is the best in chess, Yunzi." ”

Zhu Youzhen gasped. Thinking about that Yunzi, I had only seen it on TV in my previous life, a chess piece, and tens of thousands of oceans at every turn. Think about the original broken plastic chess pieces in your home, it is really more people than people have to die, and goods have to be thrown away!

Just as he was about to take a seat in front of the chessboard, Zhu Youzhen's heart moved, and he secretly wondered how Guan Ning's chess skills were. In case you are far from others in these two moments, it is a trivial matter to lose people, and it is not ideal to lose the money in betting.

He turned his head to look and saw that Lin Youkun also came up with great interest, and he had an idea and asked, "Lin Qianhu, do you know how to play Go?" ”

Lin Youkun smiled embarrassedly: "Your Highness, Weichen will also make a few moves." But his chess skills are clumsy, but he doesn't dare to show ugliness in front of His Highness. ”

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said: "You're welcome, you're welcome, come on, Lin Qianhu and Guan Gonggong will kill a game first, and this king will watch the game from the sidelines, hehehehe." ”

In fact, he already had a calculation in his heart: if these two people are not very good, then it is easy to say. In case one of them is a master, then pick up that soft persimmon and pinch it yourself. Anyway, I have already developed this habit in my previous life, and when I saw the master, I flashed quickly, and when I saw the melon, I hurried on.

Others are looking for masters when they play chess, but Comrade Zhu Youzhen does the opposite, which is also the main reason why he can't play chess.

Guan Ning saw that he had the opportunity to take revenge on Lin Youkun on the chessboard, and he was secretly proud in his heart, and said with a wicked smile: "Lin Qianhu, how big are we playing?" A thousand taels of silver for a game, okay? ”
