Chapter 14 The Four Grades Guarded with Knives

Hong Zhengyan and Huang Xu returned to Hong Zhengyan's bedroom, Hong Zhengyan was still complaining that Huang Xu Weishenme didn't let her speak, she thought that maybe if she talked about it again, her father would really give him an official and a half-post, but Huang Xu knew in his heart that Hong Xiuquan was not ready to make any promise to himself today, but what was he thinking? The emperor's mind is really hard to guess, but when he thinks of the detailed jihua that he promised to Hong Xiuquan, his heart is tight, and he feels that he really needs to hurry up and get it right. Thinking of this, she was no longer in the mood to talk nonsense with Hong Zhengyan, just told her that she might need to write Jihua behind closed doors, maybe she didn't have time to accompany her in the past two days, let her take care of herself, and then left in a hurry. In fact, Hong Zhengyan also knew about writing Jihua, and it was a task ordered by Hong Xiuquan. So although she was a little disappointed, she didn't stop her, because from the bottom of her heart, she also hoped that Huang Xu could be appreciated by Hong Xiuquan as soon as possible.

So, Hong Zhengyan began to live as plain as before in the past two days, and Huang Xu, racking his brains to conceive his whole jihua, to be honest, these for him, if they were placed in his time, it may be a little difficult, but this is an earlier era than him, so with the grasp of history and combined with some more modern practical experience, the difficulty is not too great, so after two days and three nights of non-stop fighting, the final report was finally completed, and afterwards, Huang Xu did every small chapter of the entire report seriously, carefully scrutinized, each of the problems that may be encountered and related countermeasures have been done in more detail, zuihou, in his opinion, this report can be described as flawless.

In fact, to put it simply, his report is a refinement and extension of the main skeleton of the content he talked about with Hong Zhengyan, Shi Dakai, and Hong Xiuquan several times before and after this period of time.

Holding the whole report, Huang Xu felt a special sense of accomplishment, and he was quite satisfied with being able to make such a thing, but he just didn't know what Hong Xiuquan would think.

After the things were finished, he slept well, then took a hot bath, and went out to find Hong Zhengyan, he wanted to discuss with her when to take Jihua to see Hong Xiuquan again.

At the gate of Hong Zhengyan Palace, he saw the palace maid who took him to the living room the day before yesterday and asked him what kind of tea he was waiting at the door, seeing her, Huang Xu felt funny when he thought about it, but he didn't show it on his face, he just greeted her warmly: "Hello, I'm very happy to see you, by the way, I haven't asked for advice yet, the girl's surname is Fang?"

"I, slave maid, slave maid, call Xiaoqing" The little girl brushed her head, and her face turned red again. What a shy little girl.

"Xiaoqing, Qingqing riverside grass, yes, what a good name." Huang Xu couldn't help but praise, and he was really as good as his name, green as a newborn fruit, and his face turned red when he spoke.

"That Xiaoqing, let me ask you, are you princesses here?" Huang Xu continued to ask.

"Princess, she just went out and is not in the palace."

"Do you know where she went?"

"I don't know."

"Well, then, when your princess comes back, you tell her that I have come to him, and if she is fine, please ask her to wait for me in the palace, and I will come back to her again in an hour or so, okay?"

"Yes, Childe." As she spoke, the little girl's face turned red again.

Alas, what a shy little girl. Huang Xu had to sigh again.

After Huang Xu finished speaking, he nodded to her and walked towards the pavilion where he strolled last time. Huang Xu walked while thinking about meeting the Heavenly King. It may be that I have written too many things and thought too much in the past few days, and my head feels a little groggy.

"Huang Xu, where are you going in a hurry?" A voice suddenly asked.

Huang Xu, who was looking down and thinking about the problem, suddenly raised his head, he wanted to see who was calling him, because there were not many people in this palace who knew him.

"It's you, the king of heaven bixia, and the grass people see bixia." Huang Xu hurriedly bowed and saluted. He really didn't expect that it would be Hong Xiuquan calling him, which was a bit surprising.

"How's it going, has Jihua drafted it?" Hong Xiuquan not only didn't blame him for not being polite, but looked at him with a smile.

"I've done it, and I'm looking for time to give it to Bixia, but I don't know when Bixia will be free, so I've been hesitating, but I didn't expect to meet Bixia here so coincidentally." Huang Xu didn't expect Hong Xiuquan's smile to be so charming, "May I ask if Bixia is convenient now, if it is convenient, the grass people will go and fetch Jihua now and present it to Bixia Yulan."

"There's no need to be in such a hurry, it's okay to pick it up later." Hong Xiuquan waved his hand and continued, "Huang Xu, do you know how to play chess?" ”

"A little bit of it." Huang Xu saw a chessboard on the table in the cool hall, and on the opposite corner of the table there was a chess jar, which contained two types of black and white chess pieces, which were clearly Go. Of course, that piano is a little more modern, such as an accordion, a violin, etc., not a guzheng or something like the previous dynasty.

"Okay, then we'll kill a few games here today." Hong Xiuquan looked very enthusiastic.

"The grass people obeyed." Huang Xu clasped his fists with both hands, bowed to Hong Xiuquan again, and responded.

"Then do you pick black or white?" Hong Xiuquan did not claim to be an emperor at this time.

"Listen to Bixia." Of course, Huang Xu is very interesting.

"Then you can use white seeds." After Hong Xiuquan finished speaking, he sat on the stool on the side of the sunspot.

"Yes" Huang Xu also took the opportunity to sit on Bai Zi's side.

"Huang Xu, today we will make a bet, two wins in three games, if you win, you deserve the official position, I will not be stingy, but if you lose, what we said the day before yesterday, it will be regarded as the wind blowing." Hong Xiuquan said lightly while fiddling with the chess pieces in the jar.

My lord, it's this set again, is this Hong Tianwang a gambler who came to reincarnate? How to bet on everything, the day before yesterday I said that I couldn't answer the question of betting on him, but I answered it, and by the way, I also got a detailed jihua, which seemed to be in a hurry at the time, but I turned my head and was not in a hurry, and now I even have to gamble on chess, what a full gambler, Huang Xu thought in his heart.

But thinking about it, Huang Xu still responded seriously: "Huang Xu obeys the order, I hope Bixia's subordinates will show mercy." ”

"Don't talk about face, I won't show mercy, go all out, Huang Xu, let me see if you play chess in an orderly manner and with confidence." Hong Xiuquan didn't let Huang Xu have any loopholes in his words at all.

"Then I'm not welcome, Bixia first, please." Huang Xu said.

"Fortunately, Yan'er is not here, if she is, she may say that I am overpowering people again, in this case, I will not take advantage of you today, let you go first." Hong Xiuquan is very generous.

In this case, Huang Xu stopped talking, and directly started with Tianyuan, and Hong Xiuquan completely ignored Huang Xu's way of falling and responded randomly, the two of them are like this, you are a son, I am a son, there are 135 hands, starting from 136 hands, Huang Xu fell first, Huang Xu went against the previous normal, and made a big stupid move, and a white son fell not only completely sealed his retreat, but also left a big gap for Hong Xiuquan's sunspot.

"Boy, deliberately show flaws to lure me into the bait, save it, I won't fall for you." This Hong Xiuquan is also an old man, completely ignoring Huang Xu's flaws, and still working steadily according to his own intentions.

Huang Xu saw that he had lost a great opportunity, and he was a little sorry, but playing chess is like this, the situation is changing rapidly, and only by patiently waiting for the other party to show his flaws again can he give a fatal blow.

Everyone played dozens of hands like this, the situation is still stalemate, no one can help anyone, often you make strange moves, I have a wonder, you have a back hand, I hide the mystery. They held out to 189 hands, and neither side saw that there was no way to win, and there was no result if they continued to play, so it was recommended to end in a draw.

Then, the second game was played, and the situation was the same, it was a draw again.

Then, only one point can be won in the third game. Huang Xu couldn't help but be a little nervous, thinking that he played chess from a small game to a big one, from a small mountain village to the barracks, with countless opponents, but he never lost a record, but he didn't expect this Hong Xiuquan to really have two strokes, it was simply not a drop of water, and he couldn't see the flaws at all, this third game was a game of life and death, and there was no way but to fight. It is precisely with a good opponent that Huang Xu's potential is forced out.

In the third game, from the beginning to the 145th hand, as in the previous situation, everyone was evenly divided, half of each station was half of the country, regardless of victory or defeat, but in the 146th hand, Hong Xiuquan made a faint move, so that Huang Xu caught a positive one, and ate Hong Xiuquan 10 seeds at once, and then Huang Xu took advantage of the victory to pursue, surrounded Hong Xiuquan in a large area, and took advantage of the situation to slaughter this big dragon, Hong Xiuquan timely threw himself in defeat.

As a result, Huang Xu won the victory of Zuihou, and the result of the three games was two draws and one win. This victory can be easy to come by, Huang Xu thought to himself.

"Agreed, Bixia." That's how the victors should all speak.

"Boy, don't be too happy, there will be opportunities in the future, you will know that your idea today is completely wrong." Hong Xiuquan was not angry.

"Then, I'll wait, and I'll be with you at any time." Huang Xu is not afraid, with the experience of winning chess this time, he has more confidence.

"Then that's the end of today, don't look at me with that kind of look, what you promised will definitely be fulfilled." Hong Xiuquan glanced at Huang Xu and continued: "I am now short of a deputy commander of the Forbidden Palace of the Heavenly King Palace (a fourth-rank guard with a sword), and then I will add you a political adviser of the Heavenly King Palace, what do you think of such a position?" After speaking, he looked at Huang Xu, and that look seemed to say that I was not discussing with you, and that's it, you have to ask for it if you don't want it.

What else can Huang Xu say, he can only say Xie Bixia Hongen, by the way, he still doesn't know what kind of official this political senior minister of the Heavenly King Palace is, so he asked: "Bixia, forgive the grass people for being stupid, what does the political affairs of the Heavenly King Palace do." ”

"Ha..."After Hong Xiuquan heard this, he daxiao, as if he knew that he would have this question, so he explained with interest: "To put it bluntly, you are the staff officer of the Heavenly King Palace, don't people often say that you are a civil and military all-rounder?" Then the two official titles I gave you are just the right place for you to use, aren't they? After thinking about it for the past few days, Hong Xiuquan finally came up with these two suitable places to place Huang Xu, although these two positions are not inconspicuous, they can play a role at a critical time, and, on the one hand, they can protect Huang Xu from being bound by the complicated situation at this time. More importantly, Huang Xu can practice more in these two positions, and good steel must also practice more in order to become a good knife, and on the other hand, he can also seek Huang Xu's opinions at close range on various issues at any time without worrying about anyone doubting, because this is only the position of the Heavenly King Palace, and it is not as conspicuous as the position of the so-called Three Princes and Nine Secretaries. Based on the above considerations, he decided to award Huang Xu these two official titles.

After Huang Xu thanked him, Hong Xiuquan drove back to the palace, and Huang Xu also turned back to find Hong Zhengyan, he wanted to tell her the news, so as not to make her always worry about herself.

Sipin guards with knives, the political affairs of the Tianwang Palace, Huang Xu felt more and more interesting.
