Chapter 144: They're here to thank me
What is the most important thing in playing chess, is it upright, self-cultivation, or open-mindedness? In Zhang Zheng's opinion, this is all fart.
What is Go, Go is a competitive game.
Since it is a game, winning is the ultimate goal.
What are you doing with such a high-sounding sound, you don't care if my chess game is obscene, insidious or scoundrel, as long as I can win.
Li Chengqian was annoyed by Zhang Zheng's rogue bandit logic.
With a black face, he said, "You insult Sven." ”
Zhang Zhengcai didn't care, anyway, I won, if I insult Sven, I will insult Sven, and he replied cheaply: "You kneel three times in a row." ”
When he mentioned this, Li Chengqian became even more angry: "You are undignified. ”
Decent people can't eat as food, Zhang Zheng doesn't care even more: "You kneel three times in a row." ”
"You... You, you're a villain. ”
You have been for a long time, Li Chengqian is a little short of words, and in the end, you came out with such a sentence in some incoherent words.
Zhang Zheng tugged at the corners of his mouth: "You kneel three times in a row." ”
"Wow, you're bullying." Li Chengqian's little face collapsed and he became angry.
Zhang Zheng shook his head, looking at His Royal Highness the Prince, who was a little ordinary, and secretly said that his combat power was also low.
This can't be done, just a few words, and the momentum will be weakened.
In the future, if you go to the court and face the saliva foam of those ministers, you must not be angry and cry.
Zhang Zheng thought about it and decided to play differently.
The Go thing is too elegant, and Li Chengqian definitely can't learn such a lewd and shameless chess trick as himself.
His own chess path comes from his thick skin, and the entire Datang is unique, and he belongs to the kind that wants to fight for three points even if he doesn't care.
And Li Chengqian was too heavily influenced by the Confucian gentleman culture. If he continues to play, Li Chengqian will soon become a pedantic and righteous gentleman.
It's not that the founder gentleman is bad, of course the gentleman is more likely to be praised by the world.
But Li Chengqian is the prince, and if the prince becomes a gentleman, it will be a disaster rather than a fortune for the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I'll teach you a simple new way to play."
Zhang Zheng took the chess pieces back to Lou and planned to teach Li Chengqian to play simpler backgammon.
Li Chengqian was attracted by Zhang Zheng's words, and subconsciously asked, "What new way to play?" ”
"Five sons in a row."
Zhang Zheng placed five chess pieces on the chessboard and explained the rules of backgammon to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian saw that Zhang Zheng connected the five chess pieces into a string, which is different from the Go game that needs to break the sealing point and stand up for a long time to hurt the brain, which is the simplest encirclement and blocking.
Muttered: "Interesting, this is a novelty"
Li Chengqian sat up straight, thinking that such a simple game was not easy to catch with his own IQ.
Then he said arrogantly to Zhang Zheng: "I understand, come on, let's fight for three hundred rounds." Look how I made you kneel thirty times in a row! ”
The corners of Zhang Zheng's mouth twitched, ready to teach him the truth of being a low-key person.
Just when the two were about to fight, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"What's the situation?"
Zhang Zheng opened the curtain and asked the common saying about driving on the wheel.
However, as soon as the words fell, he didn't need to answer him in common words to see what the situation was.
The black and oppressive heads blocked the way of the carriage, and the official road was full of people.
The soldiers had already stood up with their swords and shields, and they were on guard.
It's a group of people who are more like refugees than ordinary people, mostly in rags.
There was still frost on a cold day, and this group of people who couldn't find a good cloth on their bodies, as if they didn't know what the cold was, were not afraid of the swords of the soldiers. Just stopped in the middle of the official road.
Li Chengqian's head poked out of the carriage, looked at the people blocking the road and frowned: "This is?" ”
Zhang Zheng jumped out of the carriage, pressed Li Chengqian's outstretched head into it, and told him to hide in the carriage and not come out.
Because Zhang Zheng didn't know whether these people were good or evil, if there were a few assassins hidden inside, just wait for Li Chengqian to come forward, then the matter would be a big deal.
Let Chang Yan be optimistic about Li Chengqian, Zhang Zheng lined up and came to the front, and said loudly to these ragged people:
"This official Zhang Zheng is a man from Weinan County, the ambassador of Hedong Province, why did the villagers of Jinyang stop the official car, you must know that the soldiers have no eyes on their swords, and they do not retreat quickly. ”
However, when the words fell, a cold wind blew but no one was birding him, which made Zhang Zheng a little embarrassed.
Just as Zhang Zheng was about to speak again, the people who were blocking the road pointed at Zhang Zheng and began to whisper.
"He said he was Zhang Zheng, was that him?"
"I guess so, but that's a little too young."
"Didn't you say that Lord Zhang was born in a family of military generals, I see how he is more like a scholar than those who are studying?"
"I thought the lord was an old man."
"Yes, but no matter how young I am, it's the lord who saved my life, and I have to kowtow to him."
"Me too, me too......"
"I heard that Your Majesty just listened to the words of this little lord, so we didn't starve to death in this year of famine, and I have to kowtow."
"This gentleman is so handsome, I don't know if he ...... if he is married"
It is said to be whispering, but the people are naturally loud. Many words still drifted into Zhang Zheng's ears word for word.
It sounds like they're all praising themselves. However, I don't feel like the atmosphere is a little right.
Zhang Zheng felt as if he had grown a tail, and his head had become the head of a monkey in the zoo of later generations, and the people who blocked the way became tourists who bought tickets to watch him.
Zhang Zheng shook his head, drove this strange idea out of his mind, and shouted at the people blocking the road again: "Since you know that this official is a lord, don't retreat quickly." ”
The effect of this roar is completely different from the previous one.
The people blocking the road heard Zhang Zheng speak, whispering and pointing movements.
Then he plopped and plopped and knelt on the official road one after another.
"Thank you for your life, the old man kowtowed to you."
"Cash-for-work is good governance, thank you Lord for saving the lives of my family."
"Catch corrupt officials, do good governance, little lord and prince Wandai."
"I kowtow to you......"
A group of people suddenly knelt in the cold wind, and said all kinds of words of thanks.
The head is knocked unevenly, and the words of thanks are also you and me, there is no logic and no flowery language.
No one even spoke to Zhang Zheng.
But Zhang Zheng was stunned all of a sudden. For a moment, he felt a little nervous, and muttered, "These people, are you here to thank me?" ”
Li Wucun didn't know when he got out of the carriage and came to Zhang Zheng's side.
looked at the people who kowtowed to Zhang Zheng, and said with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes: "Yes, they are all here to thank you, if you don't come up with a way, they would have starved to death a long time ago." ”
