Chapter 491: Conspiracy
It is very cool to bully others by relying on the status of the master, but the feeling of being a very human is always a little worse, not to mention that most of the inner disciples who have not left the master are young people in their teens and twenties, and young people of this age often have a strong sense of resistance, even if they are afraid of Zheng Quanxi's status and dare not choke on Tao Xinyu and Xing Yudong in front of them, and even have to cater to them in a low voice, but it is also perfunctory and unconvinced, and the two of them also know this, and they want to find an opportunity to prove themselves. Let others know that he is not just relying on the master's powerful straw bag, but a person with real skills, but his chess strength is average, and he has no confidence to defeat other inner disciples with his strength, although he is articulate and very good at coaxing people, and can coax Zheng Quanxi very comfortably, the question is no matter how strong such a skill is, can it convince other inner disciples? After all, the Zheng family is a family of Go, not a family of servants, and it depends on the good chess game to get ahead, not to coax people more than anyone.
Tan Xiaotian's exceptional entry gave the two of them a chance, or the two of them thought that the opportunity, because the process of becoming an inner disciple was too sudden, and there was no joint discussion of the Zheng Patriarchal Council in advance, not only many inner disciples were dissatisfied with this, but even some high-level figures of the Zheng family were quite complaining, of course, no one would challenge Zheng Xinyu's authority because of this kind of thing (that was too worthwhile), but this also shows one thing, that is, if anyone teaches Tan Xiaotian a lesson, As long as the means used are justified and not too despicable, they can be supported by many people, and it can be regarded as establishing a positive image of the two people.
Another factor that prompted the two of them to make a decision to deal with Tan Xiaotian was confidence, because the two of them planned to prove themselves by their strength and establish a positive image of themselves, so they couldn't bully others and rely on their own master's ground to suppress people, they had to show their strength on the chessboard and defeat their opponents in a dignified manner. But this can only show that this kid has a good talent or is more likely to please the head of the Zheng family, but being pleasing cannot be converted into strength on the chessboard, no matter how good the talent is, it is only an eight-year-old child after all, limited to age, no matter how high it is, it is limited, and Tao Xinran and Xing Yudong succeeded in promoting to the inner disciples through the official competition, although there is a considerable element of luck in it, and it is related to the poor performance of several main competitors in the competition, but their inner disciple qualifications are not watery, therefore. The two of them have absolute confidence to win this little kid who came in through the back door (of course, if the time drags on too long, so that the kid has enough time to learn chess, then with the chess talent that the other party can get Zheng Xinyu's appreciation, the two of them are not very sure).
As for whether the suppression of Tan Xiaotian will make Zheng Jili unhappy, the two of them don't care too much, first, Zheng Jili is an important candidate for the next head of the family, and he usually has very strict requirements for himself, the so-called strict discipline and leniency. In front of the clan, it is necessary to maintain the image of a fair, fair, generous and tolerant leader, so as long as things are done openly and according to the rules, Zheng Jili should not retaliate, after all, the Zheng family does not prohibit disciples from competing in chess. It is an important means for chess players to improve their strength and increase their actual combat experience, and no one can say anything about defeating their opponents on the chessboard.
Secondly. Even if Zheng Jili was angry because his disciples lost chess and wanted to take revenge, he still had the support of Zheng Quanxi and Old Man Zheng, in terms of seniority in the family. Zheng Jili still has to call Zheng Quanxi the second master, the elder and the young are orderly, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, before Zheng Jili officially takes over as the head of the Zheng family, it is impossible for him to turn against Zheng Quanxi for the sake of the battle between his disciples.
Although the Zheng family does not prohibit their disciples from fighting and competing with each other, they even sometimes intentionally or unintentionally create an atmosphere to stimulate the fighting spirit and self-motivation of the disciples - a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a chess player who does not want to be a master is not a good chess player. As a chess career of the Zheng family, it is certainly impossible to put all the family's career on the cultivation of top masters, a large number of first-class or second-rate backbone chess players are the guarantee of the smooth continuation of the family business, this is like building a tower, the spire is the top master, the tower body is the backbone chess player, a solid enough base is the foundation of how high the spire can be built, if it is the other way around, it is not good to wait for the spire to cover, the whole tower has fallen. Therefore, cultivating a large number of disciples with considerable strength to expand and enrich the family power is a common practice of all families, it is not easy to win by quality and there is a great element of luck, then winning by quantity is a practical choice, at least for most disciples, as long as enough resources are invested, there will definitely be corresponding returns. Therefore, the high-level of the Zheng family will not be so strict with the disciples outside the key training objects, whether it is competition, or fighting, the so-called weak and strong, survival of the fittest, the most important thing for the big Go family is to have ordinary disciples, in this way to find seedlings that can continue to be cultivated, and eliminate mediocre talents who have no development potential, why not?
But having said that, you need to have a good reason to create conflict, and you can't force the other side to accept your challenge just because 'I don't like you', wouldn't that be like a scoundrel in the market? Standing behind Tan Xiaotian is Zheng Jili, although Zheng Jili is unlikely to turn his face with Zheng Quanxi, but Zheng Quanxi is unlikely to not give Zheng Jili face because of a small matter of sesame, if the reason is not sufficient and legitimate, it is likely to be terminated in a sentence when it reaches Zheng Jili, so wouldn't it be in vain?
As the saying goes, the three stinkers are Zhuge Liang, although the IQ of Tao Xinyu and Xing Yudong is not comparable to Zhuge Liang, but it is definitely much stronger than the average leathermian, so after some hard thinking and meditation, and racking their brains, the two finally came up with a way that can not only force Tan Xiaotian to accept the challenge, but also make Zheng Jili unable to intervene in it and prevent the challenge from going - if they are willing to play such a big effort in Go, maybe they don't need to use the name of the master to oppress people.
