The posture of the dragon and the phoenix

Guanyin said that she has a way to see the level of the chess world without winning or losing.

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "You can see the level of chess skills, what is the difference between winning and losing?" ”

Guanyin said: "Of course it's different, the dispute between gentlemen is to the point, don't rush to kill, leave room for people." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Tell me how you can not distinguish between winning and losing, and still save each other's face?" ”

Guanyin said: "Brother Shimin and I will play, each play fifty pieces, and no longer continue to play, so that we can try each other's chess strength." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji listened, did not say anything, and turned his head to look at Li Shimin, meaning to ask for his opinion.

Li Shimin originally wanted to see if what the eldest grandson Wuji said was true, and had the idea of trying it with Guanyin.

But taking into account each other's faces, it is not convenient to win or lose.

Now seeing Guanyin make this suggestion, he felt that it was the best of both worlds, so he said to Guanyin:

"Since Sister Awen wants to see Shimin's chess skills, it is not impossible for us to play a few moves."

------

Ding Niangzi was reading a book, and when she saw the eldest grandson Wuji and Guanyin talking to a boy, she turned her attention to this side.

At this time, she walked over and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Shilangjun, are you introducing this little Langjun to a few of us?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji introduced Li Shimin to Ding Niangzi, nephews, and nieces, and introduced them to Li Shimin one by one.

Everyone greeted each other and greeted each other.

Then, he told Ding Niangzi the idea that Guanyin wanted to play chess with Li Shimin.

Ding Niangzi also thinks that this method is better, so that everyone will not break up unhappily because of playing chess.

Ding Niangzi asked a few children to put aside their own things for the time being and watch Li Shimin and Guanyin play chess together.

She told the children: "Watching the masters play chess on the spot is more helpful than playing chess games, they can feel the atmosphere of the scene, and they will have a deeper understanding and perception of the chess moves of both players." ”

"Therefore, you have to watch it carefully, think carefully, and then you will have the feeling of 'watching a game of chess and winning a year'."

Several of the children nodded obediently.

Ding Niangzi asked people to put a few cases in the middle of the room, Guanyin and Li Shimin sat opposite each other, and the other children kept a certain distance and sat around.

------

Before the start, Li Shimin said: "How old is my eldest sister, I should let her be black, and I should be white." ”

Guanyin was also not polite, and thanked: "Brother Xie Shimin takes care of it." ”

This is the etiquette of playing chess.

If Guanyin has to let Li Shimin be in charge of black, it is that she regards her chess skills as higher than Li Shimin, and she obviously despises her.

Li Shimin is old, and for this reason, Guanyin should accept it.

Guanyin is black in the lower right corner.

Li Shimin also did the same.

Then, both of them made a move in the other two corners.

Then the two of them also followed the step-by-step process, guarding the corners and dismantling the edges according to the chess theory, and they didn't see anything special.

At the beginning, the two sides fell quickly, each took the key point, not sticky or sluggish, if the white and black were separated from each other, it seemed to defend and attack.

The two sides seem to be random, but they are actually tied to each other.

Gradually, the two of them fell more and more slowly, both of them were like old monks, their faces were calm as water, and their hearts were actually full of opportunities.

Everyone also held their breath, fearing that even a small voice would disturb their thoughts.

Suddenly, Guanyin invaded a son in Li Shimin's chess momentum, and when Li Shimin responded, Guanyin made up a hand in her own chess position.

It was the first time since Li Shimin learned to play chess that he had encountered such an erratic opponent.

Many times, he couldn't figure out the true purpose of the other party's fall, so he didn't dare to rush in, so he could only hide his front and defend clumsily.

Guanyin also found that Li Shimin's chess strength was not inferior to that of his mother Gao Qiuniang, he walked steadily, never greedy for merit, and the other party did not fall for the trap he laid once.

Seeing Li Shimin's steady and steady progress, Guanyin didn't dare to be hasty, couldn't shake the pace of no, and didn't dare to have the slightest opportunism.

When Li Shimin made the hundredth move on the chessboard, the two sides had already fallen fifty pieces each.

At this time, more than an hour had passed, and the situation on the chessboard, black and white, was evenly matched, and it was impossible to see who had the advantage.

------

When you meet an opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the two sides cherish each other, but they want to show what they have learned.

Guanyin has been playing chess for a long time, and she has not played chess with an opponent of her own level.

A chess player who is not cold in a high place and has no opponent is also lonely.

She subconsciously put her hand into the chess box, picked up a sunspot, and looked at Li Shimin, meaning that she wanted to continue playing.

Li Shimin's thoughts are the same as Guanyin's, and he finally ran into an opponent, how could he easily let go of such an opportunity?

Ding Niangzi, who was watching the game from the sidelines, thought that not distinguishing between winning and losing may not be a good result.

Maybe the two of them will only have one such game in their lives.

There is no endgame, there will be more aftertaste.

Once you win or lose, it has no special meaning, it's just a game between two masters. As you grow older, you will meet more masters, and then you will forget about this game.

Ending with such a result will leave them with a thought, an unforgettable memory.

Ding Niangzi said: "The way of Go is a gentleman's play, and you must keep the gentleman's covenant." ”

"Before the start, the two of you agreed to play fifty hands each, and now it has been completed as promised, how can you temporarily break the contract?"

"That's the end of today, if you want to go down again, there will be time in the future."

Guanyin was helpless, so she had to put down the chess pieces in her hand, looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said:

"Brother Shimin's chess game is really good."

In her heart, in addition to liking, there is a little more admiration.

It's like a fierce horse that has found its true master, and there is no more unruliness.

Li Shimin also loves Guanyin even more, this little girl who reprimanded her nephew harshly, is not only extremely intelligent, but also gentle and reasonable.

He also smiled and said to Guanyin: "Sister Awen's chess is really good, I am three years older than you, and I can't have a slight advantage after a hundred hands." ”

Ding Niangzi laughed and said: "The two of you actually complimented each other, if you really want to go to the end, maybe someone should be unhappy." ”

------

It was still early before the meal time, and Guanyin suggested that we go to the garden to play together.

The eldest grandson Zhan and a few people took advantage of Xiu Mu to learn chess, and it was inconvenient to leave, so Ding Niangzi asked them to stay and explained to them the chess game that the two of them played just now.

Only Guanyin, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji left Hanmo Zhai and came to the garden.

Guanyin was very happy today, holding Li Shimin's hand was very affectionate, as if she was kissing her brother, and she didn't have any life.

They walked along the path to the east of Chengxin Lake, and Guanyin introduced the landscape and architecture in the garden to Li Shimin as she walked, and asked Li Shimin what he learned and what he liked.

Bypassing Chengxin Lake from the rockery in the north, the three of them came to the Xianyu Pavilion and sat down.

After getting acquainted with each other, Li Shimin had a lot less scruples when he spoke, and he briefly introduced himself and the situation of his family to Guanyin and the eldest grandson Wuji.

------

Li Shimin's mother, Dou Shi, is the granddaughter of Emperor Wen of Zhou, Yuwentai, and the daughter of Princess Xiangyang of Northern Zhou and Duke Dou Yi of Shenwu County.

When Dou was young, he was raised in the palace by his uncle Emperor Wu of Zhou, Yuwen Yong, and was very favored.

She once advised Emperor Wu of Zhou, a Turkic princess who was close and close to her.

At that time, the Dou family was only six or seven years old, and Emperor Wu of Zhou thought that she was young enough to have such an insight and extraordinary insight.

Dou grew up in the palace, familiar with politics, likes to read history books, good at calligraphy, she imitates her husband Li Yuan's handwriting, almost no one can distinguish the real from the fake.

Li Yuan and Dou are a loving husband and wife and have four sons and one daughter.

The eldest son, Li Jiancheng, is nine years older than Li Shimin, and has just been engaged to the daughter of Zheng Jibo, the governor of Tanzhou.

Daughter Li Sanniang, who is over the age of long, married Chai Shao as his wife.

Li Shimin ranked second, the third son Li Xuanba and Li Shimin were two years old, and the fourth son Li Yuanji and Li Shimin were five years old.

------

Among Li Yuan's four sons, Li Jiancheng is old-fashioned, Li Shimin is heroic and free-spirited, Li Xuanba is eloquent, and Li Yuanji is ruthless.

Lao Cheng is serious, although he can live up to the trust, but it is not pleasant.

Heroic and free-spirited, it can exude infinite vitality and make people easy to approach.

Being able to speak well and take advantage of one's tongue will make people lose face and be disgusting.

If the yin owl is ruthless, it will be brave and ruthless, and if it bullies the weak, it will attract hatred.

Therefore, among the four sons, Li Yuan likes Li Shimin the most.

------

Li Jiancheng, as the eldest son, will be the lord in the future and will be the future Duke of Tang Guo.

Li Shimin is the second son, Li Yuan hopes that he can rely on his own ability to make contributions. Therefore, he carefully cultivated Li Shimin, hoping to find a famous teacher to teach him martial arts, and take him out to practice, increase his experience, broaden his horizons, and improve his ability to interact with people.

The third son, Li Xuanba, was born weak. Smart and eloquent, knowledgeable and memorized, but he was sick all day long, although Li Yuan also loved him, he didn't have much hope for him.

The fourth son, Li Yuanji, is ugly. At the time of his birth, Li Yuan was working outside, and the Dou family thought that he was an ominous person, and he was unwilling to raise him, so he ordered someone to abandon him. The maidservant Chen Shanyi secretly took him back and raised him secretly, which saved his life. When Li Yuan returned home and was told by the maidservant, Li Yuanji became the fourth son.

It can be said that Li Yuanji is a person that Grandpa does not kiss and Auntie does not love.

As the eldest son, Li Jiancheng is generous and filial and loves his younger brothers very much. Li Yuan was away from home all the year round, so he took on the responsibility of taking care of his three brothers.

Li Yuanji is nearly fifteen years younger than Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng cares for him even more.

Don't look at Li Yuanji's ugly appearance, but he was born with divine power, and was carefully cultivated by Li Jiancheng, with excellent martial arts, and a horse lance is almost invincible in the world.

Li Yuanji, who has no parental love, has a flawed personality and is very paranoid in his heart. Li Jiancheng's care is hard-won for him, and he cherishes this care very much, and he also wants to possess it alone.

He was afraid that Li Jiancheng would get close to other brothers and take away his love.

Therefore, whenever he saw that Li Jiancheng cared too much about the other brothers, Li Yuanji would be unhappy in his heart.

Therefore, in Li Yuanji's heart, he is very repulsive to Li Shimin and Li Xuanba.

After Li Yuanji grew up, he tried his best to defend Li Jiancheng, and he couldn't see Li Jiancheng being hurt at all. As long as someone is unfavorable to Li Jiancheng, he will not agree to fight for his life.

------

Li Yuan's four sisters-in-law all have superhuman endowments, and in terms of talent, they are all extremely good.

He was able to win the world later, all thanks to these excellent sons.

Things in the world are often full of contradictions, and even the best people can't find the answers to solve them.

Li Yuan relied on several excellent sons to achieve the imperial cause.

After achieving the emperor's business, he didn't know how to place several excellent sons.

Zhou Lang once sighed: Both Shengyu and He Shengliang.

When he was born, he didn't know what to say about his biological brother?
