Chapter 342: The Chessboard
"The teacher doesn't need to pay attention, come and sit down." The emperor pulled the old uncle and made a gesture for him to sit on a chair on one side, while the emperor sat next to him.
The little eunuch came in and put two cups of fragrant tea on one side, and the little maid brought the emperor's chessboard.
Seeing that the emperor was ready for everything, the old uncle laughed happily, and he touched his gray beard.
"Then we are still the old rules, the old minister won the emperor, and then he said my request." Uncle Lao Guo narrowed his eyes slightly, and a wise light projected from the bottom of his eyes.
"That's natural, it's better for the teacher to invite first." The emperor pointed out the position of the chessboard to Uncle Guo.
The old uncle took a white piece and went down to the chessboard, this position made the emperor stunned at first, and then with a somewhat soothing smile between his eyebrows, he took the sunspot and began to fight him unscrupulously.
The chess pieces of the two are interspersed with each other, as if they are fighting each other on the battlefield, and the momentum is amazing.
After a battle, the emperor was killed by the old country's uncle.
Seeing such a chess game, the emperor laughed happily, he put the chess pieces to the side, and he didn't plan to struggle anymore.
"Teacher, you are really good, playing chess with you is the most enjoyable, unlike those ministers who let me everywhere, and they don't even dare to win, it's too boring."
When he mentioned this, the emperor felt depressed. He thought that playing chess was just a pleasure, but for the ministers, it was a game in the court, and he didn't dare to win himself at all.
They all think that if they win, they will be angry and feel that they are not fun playing chess with them.
The emperor's words touched the old uncle deeply, and he laughed happily, and after a few words of comfort to the emperor, the two began to talk about business.
"Your Majesty, this time the old minister came to invite the emperor to go hunting. Nowadays, all kinds of animals on the hunting ground are fat and strong, if it is this hunt, it will definitely make the emperor completely happy, and you can also bring all the princes with them, let them appreciate the heroism......"
The old country's uncle made impassioned remarks in front of the emperor, which was exactly what the emperor meant.
The emperor did not agree at the first time, he was a little contemplative, there were too many things in the court waiting for him to deal with, and the hunt would naturally not go back for only one day.
After pondering for a while, the emperor finally agreed.
"In that case, then I agreed!" The emperor agreed happily at this moment, and the two continued to discuss this matter.
Leave the old uncle in the palace for a while and send him out.
Back in the imperial study, several ministers of the Emperor's Xuanli Department came over.
All the adults came to the imperial study and knelt directly on the ground to salute the emperor.
"Get up, I have summoned you today to discuss the hunt with you. It's almost autumn, and the animals on the hunting ground are fat and beautiful, so it's better for all the ministers to go hunting with me, and by the way, call the princes......"
The emperor conveyed his meaning to the ministers. The emperor said this, and they didn't dare to refuse.
"Since it is the emperor's will, we will obey it. The emperor gave the ministers one night, and tomorrow at noon, the ministers prepared the specific matters properly and submitted them to the emperor. ”
The minister at the head took a step forward, and he stared at the emperor with a smile on his eyebrows.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction.
"Even so, that's no better, Aiqing has worked hard."
After a few words to the ministers, the emperor had an in-depth discussion with them before letting the ministers leave.
Several ministers were extremely efficient, and they sorted out the specific matters of hunting in one night, and waited until the next morning to show them to the emperor for personal inspection.
Looking at the plan they formulated, the emperor frowned at first, and then pointed to the middle matter.
"Aiqing might as well change the time, I thought that since I was going hunting, I had to have fun, and it was too little time to go for two days, so let's go for four days."
The emperor was happy, but he thought that he would have to have fun for four days. All day long, you should relax.
"But the emperor ......" the lord tried to persuade the emperor not to have fun, but the other ministers ripped his clothes.
This adult was interesting, so he didn't go on, and did what the emperor wanted.
After changing the time, the emperor was satisfied with their plan and asked them to plan to go hunting in a later time.
At dusk, Xia Jingjing returned home with the little girl, carrying a large pile of rouge gouache in her hand, laughing and walking in the direction of the main hall.
At this moment, I saw my father sitting in the main hall, worried. Xia Jing walked over quietly, suspicious in her heart.
"Meet my father." Xia Jingjing saluted quite politely.
Looking at her father's sad appearance, as a daughter, she also felt sad, and wanted to ask the reason. As soon as he opened his mouth, his father walked over and took Xia Jingjing's hand as if he had seen a savior, and asked her to sit on the opposite seat.
"Good daughter, you're finally back, and Daddy is trying to discuss something with you." There was a slight smile between his eyebrows, but it didn't look smug.
Looking at her father's appearance, Xia Jing was suspicious, completely unaware of why her father had this expression.
"What's wrong with my father? It's better to say something directly. Xia Jingjing lifted the teapot on one side and poured a cup of tea for her father.
Taking the tea, Father Xia put it to his lips and took a sip of it, and then put the teacup to the side.
After brewing in my heart for a while, I am willing to say the words in my heart.
"Good daughter, you are not young, it's time to get married, I don't know if my daughter has a favorite candidate in her heart! If you have a favorite candidate, you can tell your father, and your father is scheduled to protect the media. ”
Although Father Xia's words were sincere, there was a trace of insincerity in his eyes. was questioned by her father, Xia Jingjing's face was even more embarrassed.
She was not as shy as expected, how could Father Xia, who came over, not understand that Xia Jingjing should not have a favorite candidate at the moment, otherwise she should blush instead of being embarrassed.
"Daddy is really, why are you in such a hurry to marry your daughter, and your daughter still wants to stay at home with her father for a few more years, so don't worry about it." Xia Jingjing smiled quietly.
"How can this be done, it is a matter of course for men to marry women when they are married. If you can't marry again this year, you will be laughed at, other people's daughters have already promised to marry others at your age......"
Father Xia said proudly, with confidence between his eyebrows.
Looking at his father's appearance, Xia Jingjing finally understood at this moment that his father's implication may be that he already has a son who is more suitable for others.
Xia Jingjing did not refute her father's words, but patiently listened to her father's reprimand for herself.
Father Xia talked about it for a long time, and they pulled the topic back again.
