Chapter 152: Determining Life and Death with Chess (Second Watch)

Emperor Qingming couldn't reach his eyes, "The chessboard is endless, you can control the proportions, and you are only willing to let me win three or five sons, or lose three or five sons, I'm afraid it's not a little stronger." ”

He took out six particles from the chess pot and placed them on the chessboard, "How do you let me go?" ”

Let the five sons, and go first, a total of six sons.

Zhao Chengyuan glanced at Bai Zi on the corner, and did not follow the rules at all. Let the sub rule, the five sons should be placed in the star position.

The golden horn and silver edge, the triangle each under the two sons occupy the advantage of natural danger. Such a posture can be described as domineering and rude.

Zhao Chengyuan smiled and said, "The imperial brother is too overestimating the younger brother. According to the level of the royal brother, letting one son is at least equivalent to giving twelve roads, and five sons is sixty roads. Coupled with the first move, this chess game does not have to be played. ”

"If you don't put it like this, how can you see the true strength of the emperor's brother."

Emperor Qingming looked at him with sharp eyes, "If you win, I will believe everything you say, and if you lose, you will go into the edict by yourself." How is it? ”

Han Jun on the side raised his eyes and looked at Emperor Qingming, you might as well lock him up directly.

He had seen the emperor's chess skills, and they often played chess together when they were young. In the battle of destroying Chu, the two of them either studied the battle game or the chess game in their spare time. His chess skills are considered high, but he has hardly won against the emperor who was the prince at the time.

Such a person is playing tricks again, how can King Jin win?

Zhao Chengyuan's expression was calm, he took off his boots and robe and sat on the couch, bent his knees on one leg leisurely, and said with a smile, "Since the imperial brother said so, the younger brother has to do his best." ”

Although there is always a day when the brothers will be clear, this day will come earlier than he imagined.

He picked up a sunspot and fell.

The momentum is unremarkable, and the waves are uneventful.

Emperor Qingming took the lead, took a fierce position, and attacked the city step by step.

Seeing that a large piece of sunspots were eaten, Zhao Chengyuan was always calm and relaxed, not arrogant or impatient, as if he was idle to play chess to kill time.

Han Jun frowned, although he suspected that it was Zhao Chengyuan's assassination, he didn't want to see him take his life so seriously.

This imprisonment is a good thing to say, but in fact, he was directly punished for the crime of treason. It can't be said that it will involve the entire Anling Houfu.

The study was silent, only the sound of hourglasses and falling children.

The eunuchs held their breath, for fear of disturbing this life-and-death duel.

The emperor and the prince of Jin have always laughed and laughed, and the first time there was unhappiness was such an earth-shattering movement.

Zhao Chen rushed back to the palace from the Dingguo Mansion and went straight to the Zhenghe Hall where the palace banquet was held.

When they arrived, they found that the officers and men of the Southwest Army were still waiting outside the Zhenghe Palace, and the civil and military officials couldn't stand it, or went to the side hall, or sat on the ground in the shelter under the corridor, and their spirits were sluggish.

Regarding the assassination, everyone tacitly did not mention it, no matter who was behind the scenes, and I don't know how many of these officials were his accomplices. If you accidentally offend with words, you don't know how you died.

At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and everyone went out at dawn in the morning, and everyone had almost not touched the water and rice for a day.

He walked up to Wang Can, the prince of Zhenguo, who was standing in front of the main hall, "Uncle, where is my father?" ”

Wang Can has a short beard, elegant and gentle, and the civil officials are not strong individually, but he still stands calmly, and his robe and hair are meticulous.

He stared ahead, and his voice was gentle, "The imperial study must be to discuss important matters with the King of Jin and the Duke of Dingguo." ”

Zhao Chen turned around and wanted to leave, but heard Wang Can ask, "Two people with comparable chess skills are playing against each other, and Heizi makes Baizi have five sons, do you have a chance of winning?" ”

Zhen Guogong would not say this for no reason, and Zhao Chen immediately understood what he was talking about.

Father is playing chess with Uncle Seven.

The two of them have always been evenly matched, with mixed wins and losses.

The father and the emperor took the white son first, and the seventh emperor uncle actually let him have five sons?

What do they mean by playing chess at this time?

He looked at Wang Can's meaningful gaze - life and death with chess?

Zhao Chen said, "Such a huge disparity, even if it is a master duel, within half an hour, it will definitely be a white son to strangle a black man, and the country will be decided." ”

If life and death are determined by chess, the Seven Emperor Uncles are afraid that they will be more auspicious than lucky.

Wang Can looked at the sun and said nothing.

Zhao Chen calculated in his heart that he had delayed sending You Ning for more than half an hour, so I am afraid that half an hour had passed since they were playing.

He said goodbye to Wang Can and went to the imperial study.

There were eunuchs waiting outside the imperial study, but no one dared to go in and pass it on.

disturbed the emperor and the prince of Jin to play chess, it was a bad death.

After eating a few more sunspots, Emperor Qingming said lightly, "The Seventh Emperor Brother does not attack or defend, and the fall is chaotic, so I am afraid that it will not last long." ”

After Zhao Chengyuan lost another son, he smiled and said, "The younger brother wants to save his life in a desperate situation, so naturally he has to be different from usual." ”

Emperor Qingming pointed to a sunspot that was about to be surrounded, "This place is about to be eaten." ”

Zhao Chengyuan said with a smile, "I can't go back to the sky, so why bother to be a trapped beast fighter and increase my losses." Take a step back and the world is wide, it is better to find life in another world. ”

Although Emperor Qingming reminded him, he never slacked off in his heart, and he was not soft.

He has never forgotten the truth of losing all the games by accident, so he can get to this day.

Han Jun couldn't stand it anymore.

In his heart, King Jin was already a dead man.

He turned his head to look at the hourglass and began to worry about his daughter in the house.

She was still waiting for him to get back.

But now the chess game is not over, the palace banquet has not been held, and the rewards have not yet been discussed, and I don't know when I will return home.

That little girl is really immature and squeamish, holding him and crying for so long, if you see him not returning for a long time, will she cry again?

When he looked at the chess game again, his brows furrowed, and he became a little impatient.

He looked at Wu Jian like this, for fear that he would be impatient and step forward to lift the chessboard.

Zhao Chen stood under the corridor and waited for half an hour, but there was still the sound of falling children inside, and there were occasional voices talking.

Zhao Chen sensed that something was wrong.

Let the five sons hold on for an hour without losing, where is the chess skill of the Seventh Emperor Uncle on par with his father, it is obviously a lot higher.

After not attacking or defending for so long, the Seventh Emperor Uncle was afraid that he had secretly laid out a big conspiracy, but his father was only obsessed with eating children and surrounding the land without realizing it.

When he was young, he often played chess with the Seven Emperor Uncles, and he also won and lost a lot, and he was secretly proud. It turned out that Uncle Seven Emperors had been playing tricks on him.

Wu Jian opened the door of the palace and arched his body and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor will let you in." ”

After Zhao Chen entered, as soon as he took a look, he saw that the situation of the sunspot was dangerous, and he was weak to return to the sky.

But if you look closely, you can't help but be shocked.

The sunspot seems to be chaotic, but in fact it is an ambush from all sides!

Emperor Qingming glanced at Zhao Chen, "Letting you come in is also for you to be a witness with Dingguo Gong." Heizi lost, and the king of Jin personally pleaded guilty to the clan and invited himself to prison. Kuroko wins, no matter what the truth is, I am not to blame for the past. ”

Zhao Chen's expression was complicated.

"The retainers obey."
