Chapter 22: Abandoning the Son to Win
Chen Xuanming looked at the chessboard on the table, thought for a long time, and finally landed in the middle of the abdomen.
Syllable.
The jade is striking, so crisp.
National Teacher Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment and looked up at the man sitting opposite.
He looked like he was almost just past the standing, with a dignified appearance, thick and majestic sideburns, and a bearing that was difficult for ordinary people to match.
He was dressed in an imperial robe, and the country was at his feet.
Although many people think that his ability to govern the country is far inferior to that of the eldest princess, and even worse, they think that his name for this throne is not justified, but this does not mean that Chen Xuanming is a mediocre emperor.
Zhao Ji praised: "Your Majesty's step is really courageous. ”
Chen Xuanming smiled and said, "What about pouring ecstasy soup into me?"
Zhao Ji shook his head with a smile, looked at the black and white chessboard, and said: "The situation in the southwest corner is complicated, Wei Chen is thinking about how His Majesty will deal with it, but he never thought that His Majesty would simply sit back and watch it, and directly fall off the middle of the abdomen. ”
Chen Xuanming looked at him and asked, "What does the national teacher think?"
Zhao Ji knew that he had something to say, and he was afraid that he was not only referring to the success or failure of the three-foot scale, but also the vertical and horizontal of the Nine Fields under his feet, so he said slowly: "Your Majesty's move, abandoning the son to win, is a good move, but it is also a dangerous move." ”
Chen Xuanming smiled and said, "Why not win in danger?"
He calmly looked at the Yonghui National Teacher in front of him, whose cultivation and talent were unfathomable.
Zhao Ji lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "Your Majesty has this courage, Weichen admires it, this game of chess is lost by Weichen." ”
Chen Xuanming looked at him for a long time before he said, "The national teacher will go down first, I want to be quiet alone for a while." ”
Zhao Ji got up, saluted, and then said goodbye and left.
Chen Xuanming sat alone in the deep palace and slowly closed his eyes.
He remembered a lot of things.
Back then, in front of me.
Chen Zining.
The one who thinks about it the most is the eldest princess of the former dynasty.
Chen Zining was the first beauty of the Yonghui Dynasty at that time, although she did not have a good death, but she was also the only woman in the Yonghui Dynasty for a thousand years to be buried with a military salute, and there were countless legends in her life. When she was alive, the world often compared her with Chen Xuanming, and now that she has been dead for seventeen years, this name is still like a heavy mountain pressing on Chen Xuanming's shoulders, making Chen Xuanming unable to straighten his waist. The world only saw her world-class demeanor and the absurdity of her infatuation with asking men not to be in the country, but they didn't expect that it was precisely because of Chen Zining that she would leave such a mess for Chen Xuanming to take over.
Internal and external troubles, full of wind and rain.
It all starts with love.
The reason why the Shangqing Palace has a dislike with the current royal family can be traced back to the origin of a marriage book back then.
At that time, the old emperor personally opened his mouth to marry with the Shangqing Palace, and it happened that the Yujing Palace advocated that Zhang Mu, the son of Jingchen, admired the eldest princess very much, and then hit it off, Chen Zining and Zhang Mu made a marriage contract, in black and white. Although the eldest princess is peerless, but in the heart of the old emperor, the favorite is his son Chen Xuanming, this marriage can not only win over the Shangqing Palace, one of the three holy places in the world, but also suppress some people who are ready to move in the court. The water spilled by the married daughter just took advantage of the situation to push Chen Xuanming to the throne.
It's just that even if there weren't so many things later, the old emperor's move was still not a good move.
Because he underestimated Zhang Jingchen and Zhang Mu, the father and son, and also underestimated Chen Zining.
Chen Zining had no love for Zhang Mu, and did not agree to this marriage at that time.
In order to let Chen Zining fall in love with his only son Zhang Mu, Zhang Jingchen held the canvas painting, step by step, and wanted to personally support the eldest princess to the throne with his own hands.
Chen Zining didn't know at first that the Yujing Palace's advocate Jingchen had begun to plan the world for this marriage, but because of the marriage contract, she felt upset and simply went out of the palace to relax.
It was this trip out of the palace that allowed Chen Zining to meet the man who made her fall in love at first sight and did not hesitate to put moths to the fire.
The first person of the generation of young disciples of the Haoshan Sword Sect, Su Jue, was also the youngest cultivator of the Sword Sect in the past thousand years.
In just half a year, the two have already fallen in love.
At this time, Zhang Jingchen had already played the big chess under his hand to the end, and was about to hand over the entire Yonghui Dynasty to Chen Zining, but found that Chen Zining's heart had been completely given to Su Jue, leaving no room for his only son Zhang Mu. Zhang Jingchen refused to give up, and coerced and lured him with the throne of the emperor. Chen Zining was unmoved, ignoring the opposition of the court, and even made a private agreement with Su Jue for life, and the pearl fetus was secretly knotted. After Zhang Mu heard about Chen Zining's resoluteness, he was in a hurry and forced himself out of a mouthful of blood.
At this point, the Yonghui Dynasty can only dissolve the marriage contract.
In three thousand years, it was the first time that the Shangqing Palace had encountered this incident, especially the Yujing Palace at that time advocated respecting the dust, and its mood can be imagined.
Because of this incident, the royal family of Yonghui had a disagreement with the Shangqing Palace, especially the Yujing Palace.
Seventeen years later, the Yujing Palace advocated that Jingchen was already above 10,000 people under one person in the Shangqing Palace, and as for Zhang Mu, who admired Chen Zining at the beginning, he was already a master of the Yao True Realm. Among the second-generation disciples, several Zhang Mu are the most prestigious, looking at the Shangqing Palace, only the little uncle of the Taichang Palace, Shang Qingxuan, can be equal to it. It's just that Shang Qingxuan is too young, and his temperament is arrogant, and his connections in the Shangqing Palace are far inferior to Zhang Mu.
At this time, the Yujing Palace, the incense is like a prosperous trend, coupled with the perennial retreat of the head of the house, the Taichang Hall is also sparsely populated, so many times, the affairs in the Shangqing Palace are decided by Zhang Jingchen.
Many years ago, I heard that Fang Yunzi, the head of the Shangqing Palace, was about to transcend delusion and reach the realm of legend. If the rumors are true, then it will not be long before Zhang Jingchen takes over the position of head from his senior brother Fang Yunzi, which is almost logical. With Zhang Jingchen succeeding to the head, the status of his only son Zhang Mu will naturally rise, and he will definitely have a pivotal position among the second-generation disciples.
At that time, the current royal family is even more precarious.
Zhao King Chen Xinzhi may win over the Shangqing Palace, Chen Xuanming has long had hidden worries, and sent Su Zhuo to the Shangqing Palace back then, in addition to not wanting to see the eldest princess's widow, more importantly, for the sake of today's good move in advance, one is to hand over Su Zhuo to the Shangqing Palace as a proton, in order to alleviate the grievances of the year. Second, when it is a last resort, you can also sacrifice Su Zhuo to end the cause and effect of the grievances and grievances of the year.
Right now, it seems that it is a last resort, when Chen Xuanming was thinking hard about how to kill his nephew under the pretense of others, he didn't expect Su Zhuo to take the initiative to stand up.
Zhang Jingchen or his son Zhang Mu, no matter how much they hold a grudge against what happened back then, it is not easy to attack Su Zhuo, after all, they can't give people the handle of cannibalism.
And Chen Xuanming himself can't do anything directly to Su Zhuo.
However, Su Zhuo's "thoughtfulness" made him worry, but it also made him hesitate.
After all, this is his own nephew.
It is said that he is the most ruthless emperor's family, but his feelings for the eldest princess have always been very complicated, and when it comes to "life and death", he can't really be so cold-blooded and ruthless.
So he thought about it for three days.
Finally made a decision.
Since this nephew is killing himself, then he will push the boat and let him get his wish.
