In the past two days, the emperor has been busy dispatching troops and arranging troops, and today he will go to the noon gate of the Forbidden City to hold a pledge meeting.

I was idle and bored, so I watched Ah Zhu practice martial arts with the real person of the jade machine in the backyard of the Artifact Palace.

In recent days, Azhu has forgotten to eat and eat, pestering Yuji Zhenren to teach her martial arts every day, Yuji Zhenren shook his head while handing over, his hatred of iron is obvious, and it can also be said that he is tossed by Azhu.

I watched the boredom next to me, I have always liked to be quiet and not like to move, sitting alone bored and knocking melon seeds.

But I found that the real person of the jade machine over there glanced at me from time to time.

After the jade machine real person explained, Azhu practiced Zama step and pushed cloud hands.

Just come to my side and say hello as if nothing happened.

"Is the Tao long empty, can you talk to this palace hand?" I haven't played chess with the Taoist for a few days, and my hands are itchy and my heart is even more itchy.

"Teaching apprentices is very hard, and it is fun to talk with the mother's hand, which is exactly what the poor road means." Jade machine Taoist.

Since the students teach hard, why do you have to teach hard, I don't know if it is to give me face or the beautiful Azhu gave the Taoist enough patience.

I don't bother to bother with such trivial matters, playing chess matters.

"There is a question in this palace, I have been holding it for a few days, and I want to ask the Taoist?" I said as I fell.

"It's okay for the mother to ask, and the poor know everything to answer." Yuji's eyes were fixed on the chessboard.

"The Taoist Chief's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, but the Taoist Chief's chess skills are on par with the main palace, is it that the Taoist chief is clumsy and deliberately conceded to the main palace?"

I'm not polite, I asked directly.

"As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry,。。。 , Poor Dao is obsessed with the study of exercises and martial arts, this black and white art is indeed much worse than martial arts, even so, the poor Dao chess art is also a rare opponent, and now Niang Niang is at her fingertips, like a leisurely stroll, and I play against it effortlessly, it is really a master that Poor Dao has never seen in his life. It can be seen that Niangniang is not doing her best, and she is ashamed of herself, but playing against Niangniang is also a great joy in life. ”

As soon as Yuji Zhenren said this, I believed him.

"The emperor is not free today?" Yuji Zhenren followed up and asked.

"The remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty seized several cities in the south, and the emperor ordered the king of Xiangjun Bogol to go on an expedition, and today is the swear-to-death meeting, and the emperor will participate." I replied.

"Da Ming Qi has counted, these people are still obsessed and unrepentant, it is really stupid !!."

"Hey, doesn't this master of Wudang have the slightest idea of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty?" I thought to myself.

"The Taoist seems to have a big opinion on Qianming?" I asked directly.

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has not been in the court for decades, misleading the country and the people, and there is an endless struggle between ministers and eunuchs in the court. The jade machine Taoist said word by word, and said with a frown.

"As the Daoist said, what does the Daoist think of my father and Wu Sangui and the others?"

"The world scolds Hong Chengchou, Fan Wencheng, Wu Sangui and others for betraying the enemy, poor people don't think so, for officials, for the people of the world to seek happiness is fundamental, Lord Hong and Wu Sangui's move can save hundreds of people and soldiers from dying, as the saying goes, saving a life is better than creating a seven-level floating slaughter, Lord Hong They saved more than a million lives,."

"The Taoist chief has a maverick point of view, and this palace admires it." I was in awe.

"Niangniang, you see, since ancient times, emperors will compete for the world, just like this game of chess played by you and me, the two sides play against each other, and after a game of chess, I don't know how many black and white children will be eaten."

"The battle between the emperor and the general is to use this heaven and earth as a chessboard, take the common people in the world as a chess piece, calculate the height of the temple, arrange the troops in the fortress of the Chu River and the Han realm, sway freely, point out the country, and between the gestures, countless soldiers have died, how much does a game of chess cost for them!!" Jade Machine Real Man sighed.

"This innocent soldier is like a pawn on this chessboard, without the freedom to decide his own life and death, and he died in an instant, and disappeared."

"However, these countless literati and writers will only describe the emperor's pride in chasing the world, strategizing, and crisscrossing thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but they don't know how many innocent soldiers have died in a single success, only that Du Fu said: Poor and uncertain riverside bones, it is still a person who is respected by the poor in a deep dream."

"What the Taoist chief said is very true, this chess piece metaphor is too appropriate."

"The palace made its own chess pieces, and this will be sung and listened to by the Taoist." I suddenly remembered Faye Wong's famous song "Chess Pieces".

Faye Wong's chess pieces don't explain the helplessness of this ordinary person.

Want to get out of your control

But he approached the battle situation you arranged

I didn't have a strong defense

There is no way back

I want to escape from the trap you have set

But it fell into another predicament

I don't have the courage to decide whether to win or lose

There was no luck in escaping either

I'm like a chess piece

It's up to you to decide whether you're going to go or what you want to do

I'm not the only general in your eyes

But it's an inconspicuous creep

I'm like a pawn

It's up to you to come and go

Raise your hand without regrets, you never hesitate

but I am in your hand

Want to get out of your control

But he approached the battle situation you arranged

I didn't have a strong defense

There is no way back

I want to escape from the trap you have set

But it fell into another predicament

I don't have the courage to decide whether to win or lose

There was no luck in escaping either

I'm like a chess piece

It's up to you to decide whether you're going to go or what you want to do

I'm not the only general in your eyes

But it's an inconspicuous creep

I'm like a pawn

It's up to you to come and go

Raise your hand without regrets, you never hesitate

but I am in your hand

I'm like a pawn

It's up to you to come and go

Raise your hand without regrets, you never hesitate

but I am in your hand

but I am in your hand

but I am in your hand.

"Life is like chess, and there are no regrets; A pawn in the bureau and never look back. All the decisions in life are actually pawns who have crossed the river, and there is no turning back; One decision in life leads to another, and one chance dooms another. Therefore, by chance, it is not accidental, one road is bound to go to the next, and there is no turning back. I finished singing.

"And Niangniang is singing this song at the moment, and what Poor Dao understands is that this song has exhausted the helplessness and sadness of ordinary people, I don't know if it is what Niangniang is referring to." The Jade Machine Daoist continued.

"What the Taoist chief said is very true." I don't know why I'm a little sad, whether it's because of my fate or because I sigh for this common people.

"Wonderful, I love this song, after listening to it, I feel the suffering of these officials and the people, I should be more considerate of my officials and love my people in the future."

But Emperor Dorgon had returned, and I bowed on my knees.
