Bianjing, the Imperial Palace.

Taihe Pool.

In April, the sun is still shining in the morning, and the drizzle has already begun in the afternoon.

There is an antique wooden spring breeze pavilion in the center of Taihe Pond, and the arched eaves at the four corners are like four carp jumping, with red lacquer, which is very beautiful.

In the pavilion.

There are two people, a middle-aged man and a young man, who are sitting opposite each other at the moment.

Between the two is a half-person high stone platform, and there are two stone benches on the stone platform, and the two of them just sit separately.

These two people are none other than the Son of Heaven and the Crown Prince of the Great Song Dynasty.

Gently twist a sunspot, think for a moment, and drop it.

The sunspot on the chessboard suddenly painted a big dragon, surrounding the white son, and seeing that the white son was about to lose.

Zhao Duan suddenly chuckled and said, "Hahaha, the prince's chess strength has regressed a lot recently, and he is about to lose in just half an hour." ”

When Zhao Ming, the crown prince sitting opposite, heard this, he shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not that Erchen's chess strength has regressed, but that his father's chess strength has improved, and Erchen is not an opponent." ”

looked left and right, and saw that Bai Zi really had no power to return to the sky, Zhao Ming had no choice but to drop Bai Zi in his hand, and had no choice but to admit defeat.

Several little eunuchs quickly came up to clean up the chessboard, but Zhao Duan asked with a smile: "Oh, what did the prince say this?"

I feel that my chess strength is no different from before, isn't it the prince's unwillingness to lose, and the excuse he made? ”

Zhao Ming smiled slightly, nodded to Cao Shuang, and immediately two cups of steaming fragrant tea were placed on the table.

The father and son each picked up a cup and gently used the tea lid to skim off the foam and tea residue on the surface of the tea, while Zhao Ming explained:

"My father always had a lot of scruples when he played chess in the past, and he thought about too many things, so when he played against his father in the past, he only needed to guess his father's early layout, and he could easily know his father's next move and easily respond.

Because the son of the father will never exceed the limit set by the father for himself. ”

After skimming off the tea foam of the fragrant tea in your hand, take a sip gently, feel the hot tea flowing in the body, the spring rain outside the pavilion, and the spring breeze blowing at any time brings the slightest cold air left over from the winter, which makes people chill.

This sip of hot tea went down to his stomach, and the whole person almost groaned in comfort.

Feeling more comfortable, Zhao Ming put down the teacup in his hand and continued: "And today, my father is no longer stuck to the past routines, and his style of action is like a whimsical one, which is incomprehensible.

It's like a back-up again, so the style of acting has become bold and wild, and the autumn wind sweeps the leaves directly and neatly, and the autumn wind sweeps the leaves from the beginning, and finally crushes the general trend completely, so that the sonson has no chance to turn the tables at all. ”

After a pause, Zhao Ming said again: "The sudden change of my father made me really unable to cope with the rhythm of my father, so I was planted in the hands of my father with almost no ability to resist, which really caught me off guard!" ”

"Hahahaha!"

After Zhao Duan heard this, he immediately laughed heartily, pointed at the crown prince Zhao Ming and said with a smile:

"Hahaha, you, you, you're like this, you can't say anything clearly, you have to use things as a metaphor.

How? Do you think it's wrong for me to let that kid directly use soldiers to clean up? ”

"Erchen doesn't dare."

Zhao Ming lowered his head slightly, and said in a flat voice.

Zhao Duan shook his head with a smile: "Don't you just think that I am wrong from the bottom of your heart?" ”

"The sixth brother is just a vassal king, and doing such a thing will inevitably cause the courtiers to attack, especially the first stop, the Zhang family of Lexian County.

In the imperial history, Zhang Heyi will definitely not give up, but as soon as the incident happens, the news will spread from Gaodong to Bianjing, and then the court will definitely cause an uproar and cause a storm.

And as one of the chief officials of the imperial history, with Zhang Heyi's strength, the sixth brother will inevitably become the target of the public and be attacked madly! ”

Zhao Duan held his cup of fragrant tea, listened to the prince's words, and took a small sip, and after the prince finished speaking, he put down the teacup and continued: "Do you think the sixth child is stupid?" ”

Zhao Ming frowned, then shook his head: "When I was in Beijing, although the sixth brother was stubborn, he always acted without royal demeanor. ”

Thinking of this, he remembered the pair of straw sandals that his sixth child wore on his feet all the year round, which was said to have been knitted by himself.

I couldn't help but have my forehead jumping.

Then he continued: "But for more than ten years, the sixth brother has been able to grow up steadily, and there is neither the good name nor the notoriety of the sixth brother inside and outside the government and the opposition, so he must not be stupid." ”

The meaning of the prince's words is obvious, as a prince, you can calm your mind, and whether it is in the court or the people, you can stay out of the matter like a transparent person, which is not something that a fool can do.

As the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, he has been concerned by everyone since he was born, and it is impossible to be a fool if he can escape from this attention.

Zhao Duan smiled and nodded: "That's the case."

In this case, the sixth child is not stupid, he knows that it will be very risky to help me do this, so why should he do it? ”

"This ......"

Zhao Ming was stunned, puzzled.

gave him some time, and after a long while, Zhao Duan continued to give the answer unhurriedly: "Because of confidence!" ”

"Confidence?"

Zhao Ming was puzzled.

Zhao Duan nodded emphatically: "That's right, it's confidence!" ”

Then he explained: "The sixth is different from us, we are in the center of the whirlpool, all the power in our hands is restrained by others, and a stable balance has been formed with everyone, which is why the Great Song Dynasty has the balance situation now."

Therefore, we have scruples and cannot move, and moving it is like moving the whole body, which will cause huge unknowable changes, and whether this change is good or bad is unknown.

So we can't bet!

But the sixth is different! ”

"What's the difference between the sixth brother?" Zhao Ming asked.

Zhao Duan glanced at him and shook his head, seeming a little disappointed.

Then he said: "He is an outsider and the best game-breaker!"

His Yunzhou County is not only independent of my Great Song Dynasty, but even his strength and power are all independent of the outside world, and he is not involved with anyone or by anyone.

Although I don't know the full picture of its own strength now, judging from its ability to retreat from the Tatars, it must not be underestimated.

In this way, he is invincible in his own right.

Others are jealous of him, but he can be unscrupulous towards others!

To put it simply, others are afraid of his strength, but there is nothing they can do to contain him.

So he's free.

Unlike us, although the strength of our royal family is stronger than others, in order to stabilize the situation, we are also restrained by other people using various means, and we can't do whatever we want.

In this case, there is just this opportunity to let the sixth child help Da Song clean up.

Even if the final result is limited, it can also make the terminally ill Da Song much more comfortable.

And even if others attack him, what can they do, they can still fight and kill Yunzhou County.

Even if you take the troops, you can be sure that you will be able to beat him?

Isn't it enough to just watch?

That's the main reason I borrowed his hand.

He has no scruples and no scruples! ”

Zhao Ming was stunned.

……

First, don't say I'm short! Although I only have more than 2,000 words at a time, I have three changes a day, six or seven thousand words, which is much better than those 4,000 words.

Second, I also want to write more, but there is work in reality, and this classification itself is slow to write, although it is overhead, but sometimes I still have to check the information.

The time will be uncontrollable when you find the information, so it is normal for the number of words to be small, everyone understands, don't say it's short.

If it goes on like this, the snow is not short, and it is about to be shortened by you, and people are terrible! You know? Hee-hee......
