Chapter 181: The Beacon Fire at the End of the Year (15)
The husband is the victor without a fight, and he has to count a lot; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoMore wins, less wins, and nothing counts! I look at it this way, and I can see the victory or defeat.
The reason why the affairs of the military state are called major events is actually because it is related to the survival of the country, the rise and fall of the court, a war, it seems to be a fight on the battlefield, and you come and go to charge into battle.
In fact, it is far from being so simple, and most of them have already begun to plan before the war, as it is said at the beginning, 'The victory can be expected before the war, because the plan is thorough and the conditions are sufficient;
If the war is not started, it is estimated that the certainty of victory is small, and the conditions for victory are few. Those who are well prepared will win, and those who are not well prepared will lose.
What's more, there are no conditions at all! If I look at the war based on this, the victory or defeat will be clear.
He was known as a 'think tank' in the Qin State, but he was puzzled as to why King Wu of Qin was so involved in the court meeting.
It is not difficult to explain this problem, to put it bluntly, this disease is too powerful, and the wind is so loud that it has the meaning of overshadowing the King of Qin. Historically, the supreme ruler has been very taboo about such issues as high merit and high spirits.
If you encounter a powerful monarch, the strong courtiers will naturally not dare to mess around, but if you encounter a slightly more cowardly monarch, the situation will be different!
The story of Duke Qi Huan's 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes' has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Warring States Period, and it stands to reason that he has the right to inherit the mantle of Great Qin.
In the hands of King Qin Huiwen, because of the appearance of Zhang Yi and other geniuses of the world, the limelight of the disease was suppressed, and he almost lost his life, and had to go into exile in other countries for refuge. But now it is different, with the constant change of the situation at the imperial court.
was still the confidant that King Wu of Qin relied on the most, because of Zhang Yi's departure, because of the lack of a common enemy, the contradiction between the two also rose to the main contradiction.
The prestige and popularity of the court have a great meaning of replacing Zhang Yi, and in reality, the same is true, those who see the wind and rudder the court have taken refuge in the door of the court.
Since the beginning of Mu Gong, the Qin State has had a tradition of managing the Qin State with the help of foreign forces, but when the foreign forces first came, they were inevitably humble in strength, and in order to protect themselves, they had to rely on the old aristocratic forces of the Qin State.
Moreover, because the monarch of Qin did not rely very much on the internal management of the royal family, in this way, the children of the royal family who wanted to realize their life ambitions colluded with the scholars who came to Qin to achieve their own revenge in life.
It can also be regarded as a last resort to 'save the country from the curve'. To a certain extent, the appearance of the disease has changed this unfavorable situation, and the royal family has its own right to speak.
The influence of the disease in the court is increasing day by day, so it is bound to become a big problem for the king of Qin.
'There are no two days, and there are no two masters in the country' Fortunately, there is no out-of-the-ordinary move, and for the time being, King Qin Wu has no reason to win the disease, but the prevention of the disease has begun.
"Forget it! Let's invite these people first! After thinking about it again, King Qin Wu still insisted on his opinion.
"No! The concubine went out and called these ministers in. Mrs. Wei Guo spoke, standing up and preparing to leave, and King Qin Wu Yingdang also nodded in acquiescence.
Besides, when the ministers went down to the court, they saw the queen coming in a hurry, and they all understood in their hearts that something important had happened, otherwise why would the queen, who lived in the harem all day, come to the main hall.
Therefore, after the next court, a group of important ministers of the court, such as Zhu Liji, Gan Mao, etc., did not leave in a hurry, but chose to rest in the neighboring courtroom.
Don't look at this house, the interior furnishings are also readily available, this is originally an ordinary room in the palace, just because the Qin State has been fighting abroad in recent years, there are always urgent copywriting delivered.
In order not to miss the warplane, King Qin Huiwen specially opened up this house in the palace for those courtiers to use, and the important documents were sent here, and then the ministers on duty here were sent to the King of Qin as appropriate.
It can not only improve the efficiency of work, but also reduce unnecessary trouble. The room is close to the palace gate, and a small door opening is deliberately opened on one side of the palace wall, which is closed in plain life.
When there is an urgent official document at night, someone will pass the official document through the crack in the small door, and the little eunuch inside will send the document here.
The people who can be on duty here are not ordinary officials, they are all important ministers in the court, ordinary people are also the head of various departments.
However, when this long night is long, it is not that there is urgent copywriting every night, so in this room, there are also some more game gadgets, such as pitchers, Go, and dominoes, all of which are available.
Last night was Gan Mao's vigil, just because there was nothing to do, he entertained himself and set up a game, but he didn't think that he forgot to put it away this morning, and when he returned, he also entered the house and saw the chess game above the case.
"Prime Minister Gan is so elegant!" As he spoke, he walked closer and figured out Gan Mao's chess game.
"The prime minister laughed, in this world, who doesn't know the chess skills of the prime minister in the world, and he is alone in the world!" Gan Mao deliberately flattered the Lyric Path.
"Where! Where! "I am also ashamed, because in my heart, I feel that such an evaluation is too well deserved.
However, when he looked at it, he felt the clues inside, and at first glance of a game of chess, there was nothing surprising, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was meaningful.
Go, originated in China, ancient China called Yi, according to the pre-Qin classic "Shiben" records, "Yao made Go, Dan Zhu Shanzhi." It can be seen that Go originated early.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Go was widely spread, according to the "Zuo Chuan Xianggong Twenty-five Years":
"Wei Xiangong made a self-righteous envoy and Ning Xiyan, and Ning Xi allowed it. When Uncle Wenzi heard this, he said: 'Woohoo...... Jinningzi regards you as better than playing chess, so why don't you care? The player is indecisive, overwhelmed, and the situation is determined? It will be inevitable! ’”
This is the first reliable record of the game in history, dating from 548 BC.
Even Confucius recorded the following in the Analects of Yang Goods:
Zi said: "It's hard to eat all day long, and you have nothing to do." Don't have a gambler? It's just a matter of being virtuous. ”
Literally, it's so hard to eat enough every day and not have to think about anything. Isn't there still a game of chess? It's better to do this than to be idle!
In fact, Confucius meant to say, 'Don't pursue wealth and enjoyment, but study hard.'
If a person eats well all day long and has nothing to do, and does not think about problems with his heart, then there is no edification.
Although a person who plays chess is leisurely, he must also be attentive, and it is much better than a person who eats all day long and has nothing to do.
"Can Prime Minister Gan talk about a game?" After speaking, he looked up at Gan Mao, with a humble face, without the slightest madness above the court.
Hand talk is another name for a game of Go. The reason why it is called "hand talk" is mostly because when playing Go, both sides need to be silent, relying only on the middle finger and index finger of one hand, and strategize the chess pieces to fight wits and courage on the chessboard.
The change in the rhythm of the moves and the force with which the pieces are placed can reflect the mental state of the authorities, as if they were talking in sign language in a chess game. Hence the call "hand talk".
Gan Mao wondered in his heart what was wrong with this disease today, why did he have to play chess by himself? The doubts in his heart came one after another, and Gan Mao said very politely:
"How dare Xia Guan talk to the prime minister, in this way, isn't it really beyond his power to get a big axe in front of Lu Ban's door!"
"Hey! Prime Minister Gan, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, is there this Yaxing today, why don't you talk about a game? Today, the old man sees that Prime Minister Gan Cheng has a superb number of chess, and presumably the old man may not be able to make a little cheap!
I also hope that Prime Minister Gan will not hesitate to give advice! While speaking, he kept standing there, with a very modest attitude, and indeed put on a humble look, and at the same time, the onlookers were also slapping their horses.
"If we can see the two of you facing each other today, it will be a blessing for us!"
"That's it! That's it! In terms of intelligence, in terms of strategy, in the whole world, who can go hand in hand with the two prime ministers of my Great Qin! ”
"Not bad! Today's battle will be famous for eternity! Be a role model for future generations. ”
"Prime Minister Gan, what are you waiting for, everyone is still waiting for you to play chess!"
"That's it! Gan Cheng talks about a game, which is also a great joy in life. ”
"Yao made Go, taught his son Danzhu, and Shun used his son Shang to be foolish, so he pretended to play Go to teach him. Today, I hope that the two prime ministers will talk about a game, and they will teach a lesson, we stupid people! ”
"That's right! I hope the two prime ministers will show it! ”
The courtiers are you a word, I a word, one after another stepped forward to coax, it is said that if no one coaxes, it is not a big deal for Gan Mao to refuse the disease, it is really the courtiers today who are coaxing on the side.
I also have a kind of posture that is difficult to ride a tiger! Looking at the surrounding situation, Gan Mao smiled slightly:
"In that case, then please be merciful to Prime Minister Li's subordinates!"
Seeing that Gan Mao agreed to play the game, he was both happy and nervous, and he was happy that he was able to play against a master like Gan Mao, and the nervous thing was naturally his chess skills, whether he could cut Gan Mao off the horse.
When Fang was studying Gan Mao's chess game, he already had a plan in his heart, but he didn't know what Gan Mao's ability was, and through a game of chess, he might be able to have a further understanding.
"Please!" He waved his hand.
"Prime Minister Li, please!" Gan Mao said politely.
There are already entourage officials who have stepped forward to pack up! Qingshan is not tired of three glasses of wine, and only one game of chess will be eliminated in a long day, as for the ending, and see how it will be decomposed next time! (To be continued.) )
