The Imperial Court Chapter 3 is also a chess player
"Someone!"
At his order, a subordinate came with a staff.
"In view of the gaffe of Geng Xiang's son, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, he framed the court official for thirty battles, but the relationship between Ben Xiang and Geng Xiang is very good, so naturally these thirty battles cannot be fought." When Situ Leiden said this, he suddenly said.
"Then fifty battles!"
As soon as he said this, Geng Siqing's face suddenly turned cold, and the people present also sighed, so quickly, Shuangxiang had already done it.
And the guilty Geng Liqiu became the cannon fodder for their rivalry.
Geng Liqiu also looked at Situ Leiden, this person really acted ruthlessly, beating him was just knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, the purpose was to embarrass his father.
Geng Liqiu stepped forward, in order to avoid embarrassing his father, he had to bear this responsibility.
"Hit me if you want to!"
Situ Leiden said with a smile: "Good boy, dare to act, you are not the son of Gengxiang!" ”
Geng Liqiu can be said to have heard it, Situ Leiden is saying that Geng Siqing has a stupid son.
But Geng Liqiu couldn't show it, just as the so-called endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky.
As long as it is after today, when he arrives in the capital, he will pull him off the altar with the fury of thunder, as the so-called thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, don't bully the young fool.
"Come on, fight!" After Stuart Leiden gave the order.
Geng Liqiu was pressed on the table.
The staff struck him unceremoniously on the buttocks.
Geng Liqiu cried out in pain, "Ah! Yes... Hurt! Hurt... Dad, help me! ”
Geng Siqing stepped forward and looked directly at Situ Leiden: "Situ Leiden, don't go too far!" ”
Situ Leiden said with a smile: "Geng Xiangdon't be angry, although Ling Lang's brain is a little unbright and a little aggressive, I heard that he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so this time I plan to take Ling Lang to the capital and let him join the Teaching Division, which will definitely make him prosperous!" ”
"And Geng Xiang wasn't assassinated a few days ago, but he has to take care of his injuries."
"Your Excellency, fifty battles have been fought!"
Geng Liqiu fainted directly on the table.
Geng Siqing hurriedly stepped forward to inspect, but he was already out of strength.
Situ Leiden came over and said in a comforting tone: "Geng Xiang, although it is a small punishment, but it is also for his good, this time when you go to the capital, your son will have to worry about me to take care of it, and it is good for him to suffer a little." ”
Geng Siqing said to him: "Situ Leiden, if you dare to do anything to my son, even if I spare this old life, I will make you pay the price!" ”
Situ Leiden frowned and didn't smile, the more Geng Siqing was so angry, the happier he was.
"Geng Xiang and I are both ministers of the Ming Emperor, your son is my son, how can I treat my son badly, you really hurt my old Deng's heart!"
Xu Xianling was stunned when he listened to it on the side.
Isn't it going to be a dry rack? How can he be so calm, and even take care of his son for him.
But it's okay that if you can take away the scourge of Geng Liqiu, Wenzhou can also be more peaceful.
Situ Leiden said: "Okay, Geng Xiang, I won't stay longer, the saint will also recruit me back, I really can't stay, when you come to the capital one day, I will not get drunk with you and not return!" ”
After speaking, he ordered his subordinates to carry Geng Liqiu away.
Sifu said anxiously to Geng Siqing: "Family master, Liqiu him? ”
Geng Siqing looked very angry as he watched them leave, but there was no trace of worry in his eyes, "This is Liqiu's choice, he wants to risk his life, I respect him!" ”
Sifu was stunned, what was this father and son planning for?
…
When Geng Liqiu was carried onto the official sedan chair, he was directly woken up by Situ Leiden's subordinates.
"Oops, ah... It hurts me to death! ”
The buttocks were like flowers, Geng Liqiu lay on the table and complained, "Can you be lighter?" I didn't heal from the last beating, and I was beaten by you again this time? Alas... Be merciful, please! ”
The subordinate was about to say something, but Situ Leiden looked at Geng Liqiu, "Liqiu! Don't blame me, uncle, I did it for your own good. Do you know that if you are a little careless in doing things in the capital, it will be fatal. ”
"Uncle Situ beat you to make it clear to you, be cautious in your words and deeds, you can't be like Wenzhou in the capital, where to act, you have to think about it."
Geng Liqiu nodded silently: "Got it, Uncle Situ!" ”
Situ Leiden smiled and bowed: "It's good to know!" ”
Geng Liqiu was on the way to the capital, although he had been recuperating from his injuries, some of the things that Situ Leiden did were also known to him.
"It seems that this Situ Leiden's premeditation is really the throne!"
Along the way, stopping in the city, Stuart Leiden would visit the local officials.
As for what he has planned, in fact, Geng Liqiu doesn't need to think about it, but now is not the time to expose him, even if he puts these out, he can't pull him down, and even a lot of implications will be involved.
By the time he recovered, he was almost recovered.
They also happened to arrive in the capital.
Capital.
Busy traffic, bustling avenue.
This city, I don't know how much bigger than Wenzhou, but in such a city, the day is noisy, and the side is up and down.
If you want to come to this place, the water will only be deeper than Wenzhou.
After entering, Geng Liqiu was directly taken by Situ Leiden to a courtyard, and the courtyard was full of people who played various musical instruments.
"Liqiu, from now on, you will be the person of the Teaching Workshop, you are talented, and you are even more proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so here, you can play what you are good at."
Geng Liqiu nodded: "Thank you, Uncle Situ!" ”
After registering the roster.
Situ Leiden left, and he was also taken away by the people of the Teaching Division, "The first task of coming to my Teaching Division, is to practice your talents diligently, wait for the opportunity, and prepare to perform!" ”
Geng Liqiu said in surprise: "Performing, isn't this what a woman should do?" ”
"In the workshop, there is no distinction between men and women!"
Geng Liqiu suddenly felt that Situ Leiden's dog thing was sent to him to perform arts.
Sect Master Xu said: "What do you think, this is your residence, give you half an hour of time, and half an hour later in the main hall for training." ”
Geng Liqiu said in surprise: "Still want to cultivate?" ”
Sect Leader Xu glanced at him: "Do you think you're here to eat dry rice, if you don't want to do it, you can get out!" ”
He could have replied with a sentence of 'you, Lao Tzu won't do it', but he still held back, since he chose to come to the capital with Situ Leiden, he couldn't act recklessly.
"Good!"
"That's right." Sect Leader Xu left with relief, but what was hidden under this relieved smile, Geng Liqiu didn't know for a while.
Half an hour later, I came to the hall.
When Geng Liqiu saw the scene in front of him, his whole jaw fell.
Neatly arranged instrumental music, as well as the four treasures of the study...
It can be said that the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are complete.
These are considered normal, but what is not normal is that there are long whips, soldering irons, maces hanging on the walls... All kinds of torture instruments, and these are the things he uses the most in Zhenjingji.
But when I moved to the workshop, it didn't seem to fit.
Even in the hall, it was no longer a delicate little lady, but an old man who was eight feet tall and had a thick waist and shoulders.
"Sect Leader Xu, who are you?"
Sect Leader Xu said, "When you first arrived, I naturally taught you all kinds of etiquette. ”
Geng Liqiu said: "There's no need for such a big battle, right? ”
Sect Master Xu said: "Naturally, I am responsible for you. ”
To avoid being beaten, Geng Liqiu hurriedly sat down.
The men behind him gave people a sense of oppression, as if they were a little careless, and they were afraid that a mace would come over.
"Learn, study seriously!"
In just a stick of incense, a terrible cry came from the hall.
When the people in the teaching workshop heard this, they were also stunned and said: "Where did this distinguished guest come from, he was so served, he was really lucky!" ”
It seems to be envious, but it is actually sympathetic.
Wait for Geng Liqiu to return to the house.
The whole person was in a trance, and an afternoon of torture made him understand what hell on earth was, thanks to his own good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get out of it at all.
The windows were shaking.
A black shadow flashed in, came to Geng Liqiu, and half-knelt down.
"Master Yu, the news that you asked me to investigate has been found."
Geng Liqiu said painfully: "Say! ”
Si Wei said: "On the surface, this sect is to perform music and dance music for the imperial court, but in fact, it is a place where the right minister hides the killer, so the master of the sect saw those people today, they are all killers." ”
Geng Liqiu sat up and said, "It seems that my father speculated that it was not a day or two for Situ Leiden to stir up the imperial court. ”
The eyes are sharp and the expression is right.
"It seems that this time, it is not so easy for us to want the Qingjun side, I don't know how many people in the court have been co-opted by Situ Leiden, so this time, it will be a big war!"
Si Wei said: "Then Master, what should we do now?" ”
Geng Liqiu thought for a while and said, "Right now, we can't directly contact the saint, so you go back and move the town to Kyoto first, this game of chess, I have to follow the old guy in the next game!" ”
Si Wei clenched his fists: "Understood!" ”
After leaving, Geng Liqiu came to the window, and on a night when the moon was sparse, the courtyard was covered with brightness.
Available somewhere
A big change, but still ambitious.
"Right Prime Minister, we have mastered nearly half of the ministers of the imperial court, when should you start what you want to do?"
In the main hall, there are many ministers, if Geng Siqing is here, they will definitely recognize them.
Situ Leiden was on the main seat, silent in the dark, and he said slowly: "Don't worry, now Geng Siqing is still powerful, and there are many ministers above the fifth rank in the court, relying on him, so the success of the action now is not high." ”
"And what I want is to take it in one fell swoop, otherwise these people will be hidden dangers."
An old minister asked, "What else does the right minister have planned?" ”
Situ Leiden played with a chess piece in his hand, and then landed on the chessboard that had already been halfway down, and said: "Naturally, I am looking for someone to contain Geng Siqing, as long as he is there, Geng Siqing will have scruples, and once he has scruples, then this game of chess, I will win!" ”
The old minister glanced at the game of chess played by Situ Leiden, the right phase was good at chess, and they were all on the chessboard, and the right phase was the person who held the chess.
"The person you are talking about is the son of Prime Minister Geng!"
Situ Leiden undeniable: "Although this son is stupid, it is a key chess piece, I have played chess with Geng Siqing for many years, and I have never decided the winner or loser, and his chess is the key to my victory!" ”
"So, Geng Siqing, you will lose at the hands of your own son after all!"
The hall was silent.
…
And in the next few days, Geng Liqiu was learning piano music in torture.
Until one day.
The Teaching Workshop Division was able to enter the palace to perform to the Shengshang, so that Geng Liqiu finally had the opportunity to meet the Shengshang.
After the performance.
Because of his excellent calligraphy, Geng Liqiu was summoned by the saint alone.
"Jiaofang Si Geng Liqiu to meet the saint!"
"Geng Gongzi is flat!"
The person in front of him is the saint of today, Zhu Kang.
Wearing a dragon robe, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, slightly immature, according to age, in his early thirties.
Zhu Kang motioned for the servant to leave, but Gonggong Zhou did not stop. Geng Liqiu also saw it in his eyes, and it seemed that Emperor Zhu Kang was also used to this
"Gongzi Geng is really a calligraphy masterpiece, I admire it, so please come and write in front of me in person, how about it?"
Geng Liqiu saluted: "It is an honor for the people!" ”
Emperor Zhu Kang directly dragged him into the study, and Gonggong Zhou wanted to follow him in, but he refused: "Gonggong Zhou, do you think that I really won't be angry?" ”
Father-in-law Zhou: "Minister, don't dare!" ”
"It's good to know!"
In the study, Emperor Zhu Kang looked at Geng Liqiu, and they had known each other three years ago, and Zhen Jingsi was also a saint who traveled to Wenzhou that year and ordered Geng Liqiu to establish.
And the existence of Zhenjingji, except for him and the saint, no one knows about it.
The existence of Zhenjingsi is a means left by the saint to covet Situ Leiden
Geng Liqiu knew that the saint was talented, and naturally knew that he didn't have much to rely on in the imperial court, so he was restricted by Situ Leiden everywhere.
And the existence of Zhenjingsi, as well as his arrival, means that the Holy Lord is planning to do something to Situ Leiden, and Geng Liqiu is also willing to do something for the Holy One... Qingjun side.
But Zhou Gonggong listened outside the screen.
So they didn't say it explicitly, and Geng Liqiu wrote down his attitude on paper.
"The world is chess, the ministers are in turmoil, the chess player is right, and Qiu is willing to be the side of the Holy Qingjun and be a holy knife."
Zhu Kang was overjoyed and left words in his pen.
"Autumn is here, I am at ease!"
When Geng Liqiu left, he understood the mind of the saint, so in the next game of chess, it was time for him to intervene.
"Situ Leiden, you think I am a chess player and want to contain my father, you are a fool to me, but I don't know that the person who plays chess with you is I... Geng Liqiu! ”
