"Uh......, do you mean to let the Tan and Jiang families compete in chess? That's not big, is it? Hearing the meaning of Li Guiren's words, Emperor Xuande hesitated, Jiang and Tan have been fighting for a long time, this matter is well known, in this generation, because Jiang Yongnian and Tan Ziqiang are equal in chess strength, it is difficult to distinguish between them, so no one can surpass the other party to obtain the title of first-class chess player, so far the Hanlin Academy has been empty, for decades, it still maintains the surface peace of face and heart discord, and now if you engage in chess, will not the contradiction be superficial?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Liguiren's proposal is good, and the chess player is proud of chess, if his skills are not as good as others, then there is nothing to say." Jiang Yongnian responded first - the decades-long battle with Tan Ziqiang has come to an end.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to accept this proposal." Tan Ziqiang is not a person who is willing to be left behind, since Jiang Yongnian has expressed his stance that he wants to settle the grievances between the two families by fighting chess, he will naturally not show weakness.

"This ......," the two deputy editors said in unison, Emperor Xuande was also very embarrassed, he didn't want to see Da Zheng's two top masters fight and lose both, but the current situation seems to be inevitable.

"..., since the two Aiqing are in favor of fighting chess to solve it, it is not easy for the widow to forcibly prohibit it, but what should be the way to fight chess? As we all know, Tan Aiqing studied the seat of Go, Jiang Aiqing is the world with the empty board, the seat is empty, the two Aiqing are good at winning, if the seat is the rule, Jiang Aiqing is unfavorable, if the plate is empty, then it is unfair to Tan Aiqing, and if the two sides are good at their own rules of chess, maybe it will reproduce the scene 20 years ago, not only protracted, and can not solve the problem, how to solve this matter? If it is a chess game, it must be fair and just, so that the winner is upright and the loser is convinced. After a long silence, Emperor Xuande spoke.

"What the emperor said is extremely important, and the ministers are willing to obey the emperor's holy judgment." Jiang Tan and the others bowed in unison, since the emperor said so, he must have already thought of a solution.

“… Therefore, I think that this chess game is a decisive game, and the rules used are decided by guessing first, and the guesser has the right to decide whether to choose the empty board or the seat to play, and the opponent moves first. Nodding, Emperor Xuande said.

Guess the right single and double can choose the rules that you are good at, but the first advantage is obtained by the opponent, so it is fair, there is a gain and a loss, and there is a loss and a gain, Tan Jiang and the two glanced at each other, and bowed together again, "The ministers have no objections, please make an order from the emperor."

"Okay, if there is no objection, then act accordingly, and tomorrow the two Qing families will play against each other in front of the Qianqing Palace." Chrysostom said that Emperor Xuande's words came out, and things never changed.

The chess battle in front of the emperor is extraordinary, not to mention that this battle is a chess battle, which is related to the status and reputation of the two great families of Tan and Jiang, this matter is established, and the matter of Tan Yi and Jiang Li'er is no longer important, the news spread, and the crowd is excited, from the princes and generals to the peddlers and pawns, all of them are enthusiastic about the peak duel between the heads of these two families.

**No words, three o'clock in the morning of the next day, the Qianqing Palace was already crowded, noisy, because it was a chess battle in front of the emperor, the emperor was present, almost all the civil and military officials were present, and Dong and Zheng were ordered to explain before the emperor, the decisive moment has not arrived, everyone has discussed, guessing who can win this battle.

"Master Dong, in this chess battle, in your opinion, who has a better chance of winning?" Prime Minister Zhang Bainian asked Dong Wannian, the head of the Dong family.

"Oh, the Prime Minister's question asked Dong Mou, the two editors have reached the realm of chess, not we can evaluate, just one is good at the seat of the match, the other is good at the empty formation, if you use the rules you are good at, you will naturally have a greater chance of winning, the problem is that you must give the right to go to the other party if you choose the rules you are good at, there is a chess proverb, 'rather lose a number of pieces, Don't lose a first', the first side is conducive to their own ideas, the chess game to their own good at the pattern, so no matter which rules are used in this battle, the two sides are half of the pros and cons, no one can talk about more dominance, so this battle is equal, who wins and who loses, it is really difficult to assert, I heard that the way of the chess battle is determined by the emperor, if so, the saint's mind is very close to the people's reach. Dong Wannian replied with a smile.

"Hehe, Master Dong is really good at speaking, no one can be offended. However, in my opinion, a chess player is like two armies facing each other, strength is important, and morale should not be underestimated. Although the general's chess skills are loose and ordinary, not enough to worry about, but usually listen to people's discussions, most of them think that Jiang and Tan are indistinguishable from each other, but they are good at different, and listen to what you just said, this chess competition is limited by the way, the two sides have gains and losses, it is still difficult to distinguish between the superior and inferior, Master Dong is a national player, what he said must be reasonable, the general is undoubtedly discussed, the problem is that the chess competition is really because the children of the Tan family abducted and eloped with the Jiang family woman, the Jiang family wants to seek justice from the Tan family, and the momentum of the Jiang editor is definitely better, so, General Ben is optimistic about Jiang Bian this time, what do you think?! Zhao Hongtu, the general of the protector of the country, interjected with a smile.

"Heh, Shogun Takami. Zheng admired, but then again, although Jiang Bianxiu is right, Tan Bianxiu may not be depressed, on the surface, Tan Yi eloped with Jiang Li'er It is the Tan family's grievances, but when you dig deeper, it is the Tan family who really suffers. I think that although Jiang Li'er is known as a chess name, she is also a talented and beautiful woman, but a woman, no matter how good she is, how can she be compared with Tan Yi, then Tan Yi had the name of a genius when he was young, he learned to play at the age of six, and at the age of seven, he could be contended by the ninth son and Tan Bianxiu, and at the age of ten, he entered the product at the age of thirteen, and he was the fifth product at the age of thirteen. The most famous chess player in the four young people in the capital, next year's imperial chess battle, ranking among the top three to enter the Hanlin Academy, there is almost no suspense, but this incident happened, Tan Yi is bound to be unable to participate in next year's imperial chess battle, such a loss, Tan Bian Xiu must also be full of anger, and want the Jiang family to give himself an explanation, right? Zheng Xinyu, the head of the Zheng family, also said with a smile.

"Oh, and that's the way it goes? …… Interesting, according to Master Zheng's words, then Jiang Li'er may be a clever move by the Jiang family to abandon the car and protect the handsome? At the moment, it is true that the Tan family has suffered more losses, but in the long run, it may not be the case. Although Jiang Li'er is a daughter, it is impossible to get the true inheritance of the Jiang family, but she is a Jiang family after all, she is smart, and she likes to play chess. As the so-called girl goes outward, after following Tan Yi, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not inform Tan Yi of the secret techniques of the method she knows, so wouldn't the Tan family take advantage of it even more? Prime Minister Zhang Cheng twisted his beard and smiled.
