"Uh......., hehe, it's still the prime minister's far-reaching thoughts, and Zheng is ashamed." Zheng Xinyu was stunned for a moment, and bowed his hand to thank him, the mind of the head of a hundred officials is indeed not comparable to ordinary people.

"The Holy Driver has arrived!"

Just when the people in the hall were talking, the deacons and eunuchs shouted, and everyone was busy arranging the crown and belt, standing in line according to the rank and position, to welcome the arrival of the emperor.

At the end of the guard of honor, the two protagonists of today's chess battle, Tan Ziqiang and Jiang Yongnian, the two did not wear official uniforms today, they were all chess players with wide robes and big sleeves, but one was a gray robe, the other was red all over, each holding a paper fan in his hand, shaking one step at a time, it seemed to be a fairy style, calm and relaxed, and a grandmaster style.

Emperor Xuande sat down on the dragon chair, all the courtiers shouted long live, seeing that the ceremony was over, and glanced at the circle of people below, Emperor Xuande coughed lightly and spoke, "Jiang Aiqing, Tan Aiqing, the so-called grievances should be resolved rather than settled, do the two of them have to fight chess to solve the dispute between the Jiang and Tan families?" ”

"Back to the emperor, three feet of freezing, not a day's cold, this battle is imperative, please ask the emperor to preside over the order." Jiang Yongnian bowed and replied loudly.

"Your Majesty, the chess players are like warrior duels, a word is out, the horse is difficult to chase, there is no reason to regret it, please make an order." Tan Ziqiang also replied loudly.

Sighing lightly, Emperor Xuande shook his head secretly, how could he not know that he had become a water tiger now, for the reputation of the family, for the honor of the chess player, neither Jiang Yongnian nor Tan Ziqiang could concede half a point, but it was really a little embarrassing to see that the two grandmaster-level chess players of Taishan Beidou in Dazheng Go today would be injured when the two tigers competed.

"Well, since the two Qing families are unwilling to reconcile, they have to settle it by fighting chess. Dong waits for the edict, Zheng waits for the edict to be available. Since there is no room for turning back, Emperor Xuande no longer hesitates, the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes, and the battle between chess players still have to be solved by chess.

"The minister is here." Dong Wannian and Zheng Xinyu came out of the crowd and bowed down to answer.

"The matter of chess competition will be presided over by Dong Beizhao, and Zheng Zhizhao, you will be responsible for explaining the chess game......," Emperor Xuande ordered.

"Yes, Your Honor." The two responded in unison.

Under the order, the eunuchs who had been waiting next to them rushed out, and arranged the chess table, chess sets, screens, hanging plates, etc. one by one, because there will be Zheng Xinyu's explanation, in order to avoid the impact on the two chess players, the chess competition is carried out in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, and then there will be a special person to pass the chess game to the main hall for everyone to watch the battle.

The chess battle was held in the side hall, but a crucial part of it had to be decided by the emperor.

The deacon and eunuch brought a tray on which were placed two identical-looking celadon teacups.

"There is a word under the lid of these two teacups, one of them is heaven, and the other is earth, and the one who selects 'heaven' can determine the rules used in this battle, can the two Qing family hear it clearly." Emperor Xuande asked.

"Yes, the ministers know." Jiang Tan and the others replied in unison.

"Okay, then, please choose between the two Qing families." Emperor Xuande commanded.

The eyes of the two people turned to each other, and their eyes met in the air, like two invisible blades, and after a moment of silence, the eyes of the two people left, and they turned their eyes to the tray again - if they get the 'sky', they will fight under the rules they are good at, and if they get the 'earth', they will get the advantage of the first, whether it is better to get the 'sky' or 'earth'? The two teacups have the same appearance, and in fact, even if they are different, neither of them has clairvoyance to know the handwriting written inside the lid of the teacup.

Leave it to fate!

Since it is unpredictable, then rely on their own luck to see who God is more for!

Jiang Yongnian turned his heart sideways, took a step forward, reached out and took the teacup on the left in his hand, and Tan Ziqiang also picked up the other teacup when he saw this.

"Please turn the teacup lid upside down." Seeing that the two of them were already holding cups in their hands, Emperor Xuande commanded.

The lid of the teacup was opened, Jiang Yongnian's hand was 'sky', and Tan Ziqiang's hand was 'earth'.

"Jiang Bianxiu, what is your choice?" Emperor Xuande asked.

"Empty." Jiang Yongnian replied without hesitation - he believed in his decades of research attainments under the rules of short-taking compared to the first-mover profits.

Tan Ziqiang's expression was indifferent - although he is a top master of Zazi Go, he also has a considerable study of Pankong Go, although his attainments are inferior to Jiang Yongnian, but relying on the advantages of the first, he also has the strength to fight.

Jiang Yongnian and Tan Ziqiang followed Dong Wannian into the side hall, the door of the side hall was closed, except for the three of them, there were only two little eunuchs who were responsible for passing chess and recording.

Soon, the chess game came, and there was a special person to hang the chess pieces on the large chessboard standing in the middle of the palace, and the civil and military officials in the palace could not only watch the battle in front of the big chessboard, but also disassemble and study it on the sixteen chess tables that had just been placed on both sides, as for Zhang Chengxiang, a high-ranking official like General Zhao, sat next to Emperor Xuande and listened to Zheng Xinyu's explanation and analysis.

In the first step, black plays the upper right mesh, white plays the upper left submesh, black plays the lower left submesh, and white occupies the lower right mesh.

The lower right corner of the black chess is hung in, the white chess is three or three to support the corner, the black chess is two ways to pull, the white chess is retreated, and the black chess is two Land Rover, this is the most common high-eye angle pattern, if it is carried out according to the normal formula, the white chess should be dismantled on the right, but Jiang Yongnian knows that the opponent's mid-game strength is great, more than his own, and this game is the first to hold black, so if he can't reverse the first as soon as possible in the first half of the game, once he enters the complex mid-game fierce battle, his own advantage will no longer exist.

Therefore, Jiang Yongnian did not follow the common routine - although Tan Ziqiang is famous for his Zazi Go, he is not without research, and the depth of research is not as good as the Jiang family's accumulation of more than 100 years, but the common layout will definitely not be difficult for the other party.

White moves with a small fly in the upper right corner, and when black moves four points, white dismantles all the way to the right of the star.

"Normal proportion, white chess should be two ways back and three, now white chess is far from two ways to dismantle, Jiang Xiu's move means 'you have the ability, enter it'", Zheng Xinyu put a few change charts on the chessboard, and explained to Emperor Xuande, Prime Minister Zhang and General Dong while swinging.

"So, will Eddie Tan break in?" Emperor Xuande asked.

"This, with Tan Bianxiu's belligerent chess style, it is indeed very likely to enter the battle, but Jiang Bianxiu took the initiative to leave a gap for the opponent to enter, it may be that he has already studied it, and if he enters it too early, he will fall into the trap set by the opponent, even if he will not suffer, it is difficult to say that he will take advantage, this game of chess is very heavy, from a safe point of view, Tan Bianxiu may not want to start a war in the battlefield chosen by the opponent too early." Zheng Xinyu replied.
