"Listening to you say this, is that kid named Tan Xiaotian very talented? Jiangdu Chess Academy generally only accepts children aged seven to twelve, if there is a special reason, it will be relaxed to fifteen years old, Tan Xiaotian entered school at the age of six, and won the championship in the whole academy competition in the second year after admission, in other words, he is stronger than the children who are four or five years older than him, although Jiangdu Chess Academy is a place used by the Zheng family to collect Go seedlings, and its teaching faculty and teaching skills are quite far from the Zheng family headquarters in Beijing, but to do that, this child's talent must be extraordinary. "Jiang Dinghai's grasp of the intelligence news of other families is not as good as that of Brother Nai, but he can still make many speculations from the information Jiang Dingshan just said.

"I guess so. I have seen the nine sub game of the child and the lecturer of the chess academy before entering the school, although the lecturer is not a famous master, but he also has the strength of the six products, so that the nine sons lost to a six-year-old child itself is already very surprising, more importantly, the game of chess Tan Xiaotian is very beautiful, the attack and killing are sharp, the conversion is flexible, in the face of strong opponents dare to fight head-on without the slightest timidity, from beginning to end is attacking and killing, not giving his opponent any breathless effort, to the end of the chess game, in the case that neither side has a big dragon slaughtered, The gap between the disk and the surface has reached a huge hundred. Jiang Dingshan nodded and replied.

"At the age of only six years old, it is estimated that even among the descendants of the four great families, I am afraid that there are not many people who can do it," Jiang Dinghai said angrily - in fact, what he wanted to say in his heart was that among the masters he knew, no one had done it.

"It's been a lot, it's not necessarily good, you don't need to be so emotional" Listening to the words of the second son, it seems that there is a taste of increasing the morale of others and extinguishing his own majesty, Jiang Yongnian said indifferently. He is a very proud person, he is the head of the Jiang family, and he does not allow the people of the Jiang family to lose to others. Especially in the field of Go,

"Yes, my father taught me." Hearing the unhappiness in his father's tone, Jiang Dinghai hurriedly lowered his head and admitted it

Wrong.

"Well, it's good to understand, but then again, why did the Zheng family bring that kid to the capital at this time? Tan Xiaotian is eight years old this year, and he is still in the stage of laying the foundation, at this time, staying in Yangzhou and staying in the capital are not very different, isn't there usually more than three months left to select disciples? No matter how anxious the Zheng family is. It's not bad for a few months. Nodding, Jiang Yongnian was still quite satisfied with the attitude of his second son, then frowned slightly, and began to analyze - the so-called abnormal things must have demons, the four great families have their own chess academies all over the country, and every year they can also find some excellent seedlings sent to the capital to take the entrance exam, basically a set of fixed patterns have been formed, and it will not change easily, no matter how eager the Zheng family is to take Tan Xiaotian under the door. Can't wait for three months and less than a hundred days? You must know that the impact of changing the regulations is very large, and the precedent cannot be taken lightly, and the more traditional the family, the more rigid the rules. Sometimes it's better to pay the price than to break the rules and cause chaos.

"This, could it be related to the selection of the teacher of the Crescent Princess?" Jiang Dingshan said after thinking for a while.

"Well, that's a possibility. That's right. There are still a few days left before the date of the official nomination

Sky? Jiang Yongnian nodded and agreed with his eldest son's judgment.

"Today is July 26th, and the registration deadline is August 10th. There are still 14 days left in total, after which it will be reviewed by the Ministry of Rites, and the selection competition will not begin until August 20 after the Ministry of Rites performs. Jiang Dingshan replied.

"Well, it didn't take long. Have you chosen someone? Jiang Yongnian asked - finding a teacher to teach chess to a female baby is simply nonsense in his opinion, a pampered royal palace master, can't endure hardship, can't stand tiredness, arrogant and willful, lawless, has a ninety-five supreme father, others can't scold and can't beat, let alone what high standards and strict requirements, even if such a person has a certain talent for playing chess, it is impossible to reach a high level, the so-called industry is diligent and ridiculous, it is hard to imagine how long the crescent princess's interest in playing chess can be maintained. According to his opinion, just send a chess player from the Hanlin Academy to teach it, just coax the children to be happy, where is the need to spend a lot of time and do what kind of tryouts, it is really unnecessary. If it weren't for the most favored princess of the Holy Heaven today, he wouldn't be interested in paying attention to this matter.

"Two people were preliminarily selected, one is named Jiang Yibei, and the other is Chu Huainan. These two people, one twelve, one thirteen, are children who have been in the beginner for more than two years, their chess skills are good, and they both have the strength of more than eight grades, I am going to arrange for the two of them to have a three-way chess battle in three days, and the winner will have a chance to be nominated, I don't know what instructions my father has? Jiang Dingshan replied.

"Well, do it according to your wishes, the strength of the eighth grade, I'm afraid it's not easy to get to the end, but our Jiang family already occupies a lot of positions, and it is also appropriate to leave others some opportunities." Jiang Yongnian thought for a while and made instructions - the so-called tree big move, after defeating Tan Ziqiang ten years ago and driving the Tan family out of the capital, the Jiang family became a veritable first family of Go, which certainly brought endless glory wealth and power to the Jiang family, but at the same time it was inevitable to become the target of the public, all chess players want to catch up with the target, no matter how strong the Jiang family is, no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to cover all aspects, and easily resolve all the challenges, so Jiang Yongnian adjusted his strategy after suffering a few small losses, No longer always think about grasping all the power benefits in your own hands, but appropriately give up some opportunities to others, eat meat yourself, and let others drink soup, so that you can cooperate with those powerful families, even if you can't cooperate, at least you won't make trouble on some major issues.

"Yes, the child takes it to heart." Jiang Dingshan said.

"Heh, father, although this is the case, but since it is fair competition, I think it is better to do your best, even if you don't want to send the best disciples under the sect, at least you should send a second-level candidate, twelve or thirteen years old to reach the strength of the ninth grade, in the ordinary small family can be called a genius, but in the Jiang family can only be regarded as average. If I go to participate in the trials at this level, if I lose in the first few rounds, wouldn't it damage my Jiang family's face? Jiang Dinghai put forward a different opinion.

"If it is too rigid, it is easy to break, and if you do things, you must understand the truth that if you have something to gain, you must lose something, if nothing else, the Zheng and Dong families will not send the best disciples in this selection competition, with the strength of Jiang Yibei or Chu Huainan, they can also compete, as for other families, there may be one or two dark horses, but so what?" Jiang Yongnian smiled slightly. (To be continued......)
