The afternoon sun has a hint of laziness, the square in front of the Liangyi Hall is a little whitened by the scorching sun, the autumn tiger at the end of September makes Chang'an City still a little hot, and the lush locust trees also look a little hot in the bright sun.

Passing through the tall red brick walls of the imperial city, along the central axis of the Da'an Palace, all the way to the north, through the Taiye Lake, you will arrive at a lake platform with exceptionally exquisite pavilions, where is the latest Taiye 'Tingyu Xuan' built in the imperial city.

Water Pavilion Pavilion, carved pavilion golden tile, this 'Listening to the Rain Xuan' not only from a distance to see the atmosphere is vigorous, the interior decoration is also magnificent, the golden dragon lacquer plant, the painting carved beams, here, the manifestation is a powerful empire supreme ruler to enjoy the luxurious life.

At this time, I saw four people sitting in the lake pavilion in the Yuxuan complex, one of them was the golden dragon in civilian clothes, it was Li Er, the son of heaven in the world, and the other three were all purple and gold official uniforms, one had a thin face, hooked nose, and Danfeng eyes, which was the eldest grandson of the Taifu of the current dynasty, and the other was the face of the national character, the square nose, and the kind eyebrows, which was the head of the prime minister of the dynasty, Fang Xuanling, and the other one, with hooked eyebrows and long beards, and there were three points of sickness between the eyebrows, which was Du Ruhui, who had already retired from leisure.

"Smack." I saw Li Er put down a black chess piece in his hand, in front of him was a game of Go, the chessboard was already dotted, the black and white were densely blended together, and directly opposite him was the eldest grandson Wuji, and at this moment it was the eldest grandson Wuji who was playing against Li Er.

"Auxiliary, now that it's in the middle game, what do you think of this chess game?"

Hearing Li Er's inquiry, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was sitting opposite, said with a half-frown: "On this chessboard, His Majesty has already accounted for half of the wall, and now there are almost more than one hundred and eighty hands. There are three sides on the board that have the upper hand. I'm afraid of this game. Wechen is going to lose. ”

"Haha." Hearing the eldest grandson Wuji say this, Li Er laughed heartily, turned his head to look at Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and asked with a smile: "What do Keming and Xuanling think of this chess game?" ”

Du Ruhui on the side said softly: "From the beginning of the game, His Majesty's chess style was fierce, pressing step by step, hanging, flying, rushing, jumping, and taking root all the way. Vertical and horizontal, in contrast, the eldest grandson prime minister does not have this momentum, most of them are blocking, dismantling, breaking, after this more than 180 hands, the decline has been revealed, if His Majesty does not make a big mistake, this game is afraid that Weichen will congratulate His Majesty in advance on his victory. ”

After listening to Du Ruhui's evaluation, the smile on Li Er's face was even stronger, but there seemed to be a hint of expectation in his expression. So he turned his head to Fang Xuanling again.

At this moment, Fang Xuanling stared at the chessboard. The concentration was abnormal, and I only listened to him say slowly: "I'm afraid I don't need to congratulate Majesty in advance in this game, because Majesty has already won." ”

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Er was the first to laugh loudly: "Xuanling, who knows me, is also!" After that, he shook off a black piece in his hand, and a black chess piece fell behind the white son, but at this time, the clear-eyed person could see at a glance that this black seed had pinched the life and death position of the white dragon, and only a few more steps were needed, and the black child would undoubtedly win.

"In this game, Weichen admits defeat." The eldest grandson Wuji respectfully said to Li Er.

"Congratulations to His Majesty for winning another game." Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also saluted and complimented.

Li Er stood up at this time, walked to the railing of the Huxin Pavilion with his hands in his hand, looked at the pale blue lake in the sun, and said with emotion: "I suddenly thought that before the Xuanwu Gate, we also played such a game of chess together, and at that time, it was also me and the auxiliary machine, and I also won." ”

Hearing Li Er say this, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others were all stunned, Xuanwumen has always been a taboo for Li Er, after that, everyone didn't dare to mention this topic again, but they didn't expect Li Er to bring up the old matter again today.

"At the beginning, the shape was critical, and Prince Yin already had a heart that was unfavorable to His Majesty, and he couldn't have the kindness of a woman to do great things, and it was undisputed that His Majesty was decisive in protecting himself at the beginning." After all, the eldest grandson Wuji is Li Er's hair, and he has more say on this sensitive topic, so only he has words to persuade him.

Li Er still had his hands behind his back and stared at the lake motionlessly, "I still remember that when Cheng Zhijie made a fuss about going out to fight with the eldest brother and second brother, Xuan Ling stopped him. ”

"Cheng Zhijie is rough and often does some reckless things, and out of big considerations, Weichen had to do this at that time." Fang Xuanling replied respectfully.

"Hmm." Li Er responded, and was silent for a while, before he said slowly: "I have asked myself over and over again, after that chess game, whether it was right or wrong to decide whether the change in Xuanwumen was right. ”

"陛xià." Hearing Li Er say such hesitant words, Eldest Sun Wuji and the others all shouted in unison with concern.

"You don't need to worry." Li Er turned around and said with a smile: "I have never regretted it, no matter how it is recorded in the history books, I have achieved a clear conscience, I just have some feelings, I don't know what future generations will say about me." ”

Fang Xuanling lowered his head and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty Wencheng Wuzhi, the territory of the world, all returned to the Tang Dynasty, since the beginning of Yan Huang, no emperor has opened up the territory that can be compared with His Majesty, and no one dares to say it, but His Majesty's achievements must be unprecedented." ”

Hearing Fang Xuanling say this, Li Er's eyes flowed with an indescribable brilliance, and from his body, there was a kind of rebellious spirit of an emperor through the ages, and Fang Cai's doubts and decadence were swept away.

"I'm afraid the war in Central Asia has begun now, and I want to include all the lands in this world into my Tang Dynasty territory in my lifetime, just like this chessboard!" After that, the last sunspot in Li Shuangzhong flew down the chessboard, and the big dragon vein of Baizi was traverse by a son, and in an instant, the whole game was lost......

"Boss, when are we going to strike?"

In the valley of mountains, a group of men and horses hid in the shade of a mountain range, and they were covered in green paint, carrying strange spears on their backs, domed helmets, and thick marching backpacks, most of them pulling horses, and a dozen army green iron vehicles.

At the front of the team, a bald man wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said a little breathlessly: "What about the brothers who are in charge of letting go of the wind, wait for their news, the boss has ordered, and we can go up." ”

"General Biao, General Biao!" Before the bald man finished speaking, more than a dozen soldiers dressed as spies ran over from the foot of the mountain in the distance, and when they ran to the big man's side, they shouted out of breath: "General Biao!" The signal flag of the coach to make dumplings has been hung up! ”

After hearing this, the bald man wiped his face and roared: "Brothers, order the brothers of the tank battalion and the artillery battalion to copy all the guys, it's time for these big cannibals to appreciate the demeanor of our first army of the Tang Dynasty!" ”…… (To be continued......)
