Chapter 167: The Dust Has Settled
"Sir, this chess game is far away and meditated, but it is difficult to crack. ”
I don't know how long it took, He Buyu finally recovered his mind from the chess game.
The rules of this chess game, which is called chess, are actually quite simple, simulating the confrontation between the two armies during the imperial hegemony, and using dozens of chess pieces to interpret the war in the world on a chessboard.
However, compared to the game of chess, which he is good at on a daily basis, this chess is not gradual, but faces trade-offs at almost every move.
In this endgame, although there are still many chess pieces, he has changed hundreds of moves in a row, and found that they are all dead ends, which is really unsolvable.
On weekdays, in the way of chess, He Buyu thinks that he still has some strength, although it is not as good as poetry and articles, let alone the forefront of the world, at least in Yangzhou, many famous chess players have been defeated by him.
Even his uncle He Weiming is not his opponent, and his aunt He Weiyao was able to win against him ten years ago, but now she has lost nine times out of ten.
According to the evaluation of his uncle and sister-in-law, this nephew has thousands of ravines in his chest, he is calm in the chess lane, he is not slow, and he seems to have no rules, but he can gain an advantage by walking.
This kind of freewheeling chess method has defeated countless routine chess players.
But today, in the face of this chess endgame, he has a strong sense of powerlessness.
"It turns out that if I go with the flow, I will not be able to go against it. But in the face of this situation, one step at a time, they are constrained. This is the biggest shortcoming of my He Yuanshan's life. ”
He Buyu seemed to understand something, got up and bowed to Yunsu.
"Yuanshan, when you were playing chess, I had carefully deduced for you, you are peaceful, benevolent and kind, since you were born to be the dragon and phoenix among people, this life can be called smooth sailing, and what you do is also a lot of help, invincible.
However, there is a hint of indecisiveness in your temperament, which was not a big deal originally, but because you accidentally got the nine calculations of cloth clothes, you like to calculate first and then move in everything, but you went astray and fell into the picture. ”
Yun Su pointed to the endgame on the stone table, and with a slight flick of his sleeves, a fresh breeze blew through the chessboard, directly moving countless chess pieces, and almost instantly cracking the endgame that he deliberately increased the difficulty by thousands of times.
"Qingfeng doesn't know chess, but it has broken the endgame, you are difficult to meet an opponent in the way of chess, but when you encounter this endgame that requires trade-offs, you will be confused, and it will be difficult to make up your mind. If you had treated it with the same natural and peaceful mind as the way of chess, this endgame would have been solved long ago.
Whether it's the way of playing chess, or the way of the endgame, you remember, with your talent and intelligence, you have read poetry and books since you were a child, and you can be called a rich and talented person, no matter how big things you encounter, in fact, it is difficult for you, you only need to make a bold decision. ”
Why don't you say: "Thank you Mr. for your advice, Yuanshan also feels that he has been quite constrained since he studied Buyi Jiushu over the years, but this indecisive nature has become more and more intense." ”
"Indecisiveness, sometimes it is not necessarily not a good thing, indecisive people often have a lot of fears, there are so many capable people in the world, many people are because there is no fear, act recklessly, harm themselves at the lightest, and harm the people of the world at the worst.
Since the opening of heaven and earth, yin and yang are balanced, everything has positive and negative sides, everything has advantages and disadvantages, you just need to not forget your original intention and go with the flow.
Su also told a few small people in the family, this person lives a lifetime of grass and trees, when he was young, he longed for it, and when he was young, he thought twice about everything, thinking about this one thing and doing so, whether I would regret it when I was old, it was okay. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Su, Yuanshan understands. ”
"Well, go with the flow, forgetting something is not necessarily a good thing, sometimes the more you know, if you don't have the ability to change it, it's a great pain.
This method of nine calculations of cloth clothes is harmful to you, so I will accept it, if you think about it one day in the future, you want to get it back, and Su will return it at any time. ”
Yun Su reminded him, lest he suddenly find that he had forgotten something when he went back, which would only increase his troubles.
Why didn't he be stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then seemed to understand something, and then when he thought about the nine calculations of the cloth, he found that he only remembered the name, and everything else seemed to have been forgotten.
At this moment, he suddenly found that the whole person was much more comfortable, and the original endless pressure seemed to disappear all at once.
It's like a person who suddenly lets go of his burden, and instantly relaxes.
"Learn to let go, learn to go with the flow, go for it. ”
Why don't you salute again, and then push the door out, but suddenly find that the thick snow outside is gone, why does the snow melt so quickly?
However, now that everything is clear in his heart, he no longer has any baggage, and he exhales a long breath to the extreme.
Mr. Su really deserves to be a true immortal outside the world, and the problem that has plagued him for so long has finally been solved.
"Little master!"
Just as he was looking around blankly, looking for the horse he was tied to the entrance of the alley, he suddenly heard someone calling him, and when he looked at it, he saw a woman in a strong suit with a few guards waiting not far away, and there was a carriage next to him, which turned out to be the head of the nursing home of the sister-in-law's family, and also Aunt Zhang, who had watched him grow up since childhood.
"Aunt Zhang, why did you come to Yuyang?"
When He Buyu went out just now, he only felt that the weather had warmed up a lot, and the snow had melted, and he was wondering, but he didn't expect to see this Aunt Zhang suddenly, could it be that something urgent happened to the sister-in-law, obviously I only saw it yesterday at Aunt Cheng's house in Yangming Mansion.
"Little master, you have been away from home for a month and have not returned, Madame misses you very much, and something happened at home, so Madame sent us to pick you up. ”
"What!!, haven't returned in January?"
He Buyu was suddenly stunned, it was just an endgame, and it would only take an hour or two at most, how could it be that a month had passed.
"Little master, what's wrong with you? After you met your wife on the second day of the Lunar New Year, you came to Yuyang City overnight, and your wife thought that you had been wronged by something, and she felt guilty, so she asked me to come back to look for you on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
As a result, the person from this Qingfeng Xiaozhu said that you are in retreat and meditation, and you will not wake up until today, so I went back to reply to Mrs. first, and I happened to meet the third master who came back from Hantian City, so I confirmed the matter, so I came to pick you up today. ”
When Aunt Zhang spoke, she couldn't help but glance at the courtyard door of the Qingfeng Xiaozhu, and after she found it here that day, she was about to knock on the door, but she saw a god suddenly coming down from the door, telling herself that the little young master was retreating and meditating in the Qingfeng Xiaozhu, and asked her to go back first, and then come to pick up people when the time came.
As an ordinary master of the rivers and lakes, Aunt Zhang was stunned at the time, as soon as she knew that the little young master had a good relationship with the owner of Qingfeng Xiaozhu, otherwise the little young master would not have left a letter and came to Yuyang City overnight to pay New Year's greetings. Second, in the face of this Shenjun, who was extremely depressed and couldn't even speak, she really didn't believe it and couldn't do it, and when she went back, it was even more surprising to her.
It turned out that the lady and the third master who happened to rush home from the border pass knew about this matter, although they didn't know how they found out, but they were temporarily relieved and came to pick him up again today.
"Mr. is really a true immortal in the world......"
He Buyu was shocked, if he heard from others, maybe he didn't have a strong emotion, this endgame was personally ordered by him, and when he thought about it carefully, it was just a quiet thought, saying that the time to sit down and get up may be exaggerated, but at most it was only an hour or two of feelings, and now he was told that a month had passed.
"Little Master, let's go back to Yangming Mansion City first. ”
Aunt Zhang seemed to have something on her mind, and urged again.
"Good!"
He Buyu turned around and bowed to Qingfeng Xiaozhu again, then boarded the carriage and went directly back to Yangming Mansion City.
Along the way, this Aunt Zhang first sent someone to hurry back to report the news, and then drove herself, the speed was actually faster than when he came to Yuyang City, and he rushed back to Yangmingfu City, not back to Hefu, but went directly to Chaifu.
To He Buyu's surprise, many families had been asleep for a long time at this hour, but the little aunt He Weiyao and the third uncle He Weiming were actually waiting for them in the inner hall.
"Shan'er, it's good for you to come back. ”
A beautiful young woman in the hall who looked only in her early twenties, it was He Buyu's aunt He Weiyao, who saw him walk in, hurriedly got up, walked over, and pulled his arm, so that he could look at him, for fear that something would go wrong.
"Auntie, I'm just going to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Su, you don't have to worry. ”
"Your New Year's visit is over, but even the New Year has passed. That is, we can rest assured that we went to Mr. Su. If I go to other places, I'm afraid you and your third uncle will have to look for you. ”
He Weiyao pulled him into his seat, and then instructed the servants at home to prepare some supper, and then returned to the seat opposite.
He Buyu hurriedly got up and saluted He Weiming: "My nephew visited my uncle, which made my uncle worried. ”
"Hmph! The prince doesn't have to be polite, and Weichen doesn't dare to be it. ”
Why don't you say anything, and be slightly stunned, what's wrong with the third uncle today, when he came back, the little aunt pulled herself and kept talking, could it be that the ceremony was a step slower.
Why didn't he understand what he said?
"Third brother, this matter is Chai Jin's inconsiderateness, why should you embarrass Shan'er. ”
Seeing this, He Weiyao got up and bowed slightly to his third brother and bowed.
"Alas!"
He Weiming sighed, and when he heard it, he was even more confused, what is 'the platform doesn't have to be polite, and the minister doesn't dare to be?', I almost didn't understand it just now, and after a while, I felt that the third uncle was talking about this, but this was even more inexplicable.
"Third uncle, Yuanshan has done something wrong, you can reprimand it directly. ”
Why don't you think to yourself, it shouldn't be because of staying in Qingfeng Xiaozhu for a month, after all, the third uncle also knows a lot about Mr. Su, and he has always respected Mr. Su very much, so it is impossible to blame himself for this.
It is a great opportunity to be able to retreat and meditate for a month in such a worldly True Immortal Mansion, to think clearly about the many confusions in my heart, and to break through many obstacles.
“......”
He Weiming sighed, he wanted to say something but couldn't say a name.
He Weiyao had no choice but to take over the words, and said with a slight embarrassment: "Shan'er, many things have happened during your period of retreat, your uncle entered Beijing a year ago, and was originally ordered by the military department, but he was calculated by hundreds of civil and military officials, and he got drunk at the Lantern Festival dinner of the ministry, and after waking up, he put on a dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair......"
When he heard this, he was stunned and fell back to his seat in a sluggish manner.
My uncle actually became the emperor, and when I woke up from a dream, my uncle actually changed the world.
It turned out that Chai Jin went north by boat and arrived in the capital on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
The Western Expeditionary Army did not welcome this general who was ordered by the military department to go north, nor did it oppose him, and a total of more than 200,000 people on both sides camped outside the city.
Compared with the Western Expeditionary Army, which did not advance in oil and salt, and several young generals who are currently in charge, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty almost regarded Chai Jin as a savior.
As soon as the Chai Jin army arrived, there were two armies holding each other back, so there was no need to worry about either side suddenly having evil intentions, and even the Gyeonggi garrison and the imperial palace were guarded by half of the two armies.
And the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, who were anxious about the election of the king, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Choosing the emperor is such a thing, but no one wants to do it, there are more people who want to be the emperor, and it is a big problem to choose who is not to choose, and with the lesson of the tragedy of the Longevity Palace, after the principals of the three major forces were killed, everyone was even more desperate, for fear of choosing the wrong side and offending countless parties, so you just pushed me to push, and I didn't choose a tall ugly man for seven days.
Chai Jin is not a Beijing official after all, the court experience is not as good as these old fritters, he has led the army to fight outside all the year round, and after countless fights in the past seven days, he finally had to come to him to divide right and wrong fairly, and he almost wanted to beat people empty-handed several times.
Some say that it should be chosen from the side branch of the clan, after all, the dynasty has not collapsed, the country has not fallen into the hands of foreign races, and the royal family should continue to pass it on.
This suggestion was originally good, but suddenly a voice rose again, after the death of Emperor Yuanling, the entire royal family was washed clean with blood, and if the new emperor took the throne, if he thoroughly investigated the matter, and then made a strain liquidation, you people, especially those who suggested choosing others, just wait to be punished.
So, everyone unanimously gave up the side branch of the clan.
Some people say that it is better to choose from among the people in the world, and choose those who are the most virtuous and respected to be emperors.
So, before presiding over the law change, the world-famous Prime Minister Wang Cheng was recommended as the new emperor's candidate, this is terrible, Wang Cheng Prime Minister was so angry that he didn't even have the first month, ran to the court and scolded, saying that these people were trying to harm him, ruin his reputation, have bad intentions, and plant blame, and the next day he cleaned up and went back to his hometown in southern Xinjiang.
Several other candidates who have been recommended have all complained of illness, and some people simply held a funeral at home, saying that they would mourn for three years and not see outsiders.
Seeing that the Lantern Festival is coming, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are miserable, the clan side branch can not be the emperor, and the prince of the Northern Tang Kingdom will never welcome back, and those virtuous idlers in the world have avoided suspicion, and none of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military dares to recommend themselves and come out to say that they want to be emperors.
As a result, some people proposed to take advantage of the Lantern Festival to hold a Lantern Festival dinner in the Ministry of Officials, and by the way, work together to solve this big problem as soon as possible.
Several generals of the Western Expeditionary Army still didn't come in too much, and none of the generals came even though they were invited, but 2,000 men and horses came to guard the officials.
Chai Jin stayed in Beijing for five days, looking at the chaos of the Manchu Dynasty, but his hair turned a lot gray, and these civil and military officials who were frightened by the bloody case of the Longevity Palace did not know when they would be able to elect a qualified emperor.
Li Yinzhi and the others can rely on their youth and don't care about anything, but he can't ignore these court things, so he has to go to the banquet!
At the Lantern Festival dinner, everyone did not have the usual deception, a good scene of joy, civil and military officials drank to their heart's content, complained heartily, and didn't know what was going on, the officials all looked for Chai Jin to toast, saying that they were grateful to him for working a lot for the court these days, and protecting the personal safety and family safety of the Manchu civil and military forces, anyway, Chai Jin drank too much in the end.
When I woke up again, I had already put on a dragon robe and sat in the palace hall, and the reason why I woke up was that I was awakened by the tsunami-like long live of our emperor.
Chai Jin was furious on the spot, but the Manchu Dynasty didn't care so much, anyway, you wore a dragon robe and sat on a dragon chair, it is rare that everyone has a high degree of unanimity, and they gave you a great gift together, you can't help but admit it.
One by one, they lined up and cried, talking about how the Dacheng Dynasty suffered a lot, and how it was not easy for the Manchu Dynasty to be civil and military, and he was elected at the great risk of the Zhulian Nine Clans.
Two or three hundred people took turns to express their feelings in front of them, and they didn't know who was crying with a headache, although they didn't know whether they were crying for the first emperor, or crying for the Dacheng Dynasty, or crying for the people, for themselves, or because a new emperor was finally elected, there was no need to be frightened, and it was difficult to sleep and eat every day.
In the end, even the generals of the Western Expeditionary Army, who were belated, were extremely shocked when they saw this situation, but after understanding the reason, they gladly accepted it, and the young generals led by Li Yinzhi felt that Chai Jin, as the son-in-law of the He family, had an innocent background and did not favor any side, and was very suitable to be the new emperor.
Moreover, Chai Jin has repeatedly made military exploits before, fought extremely bravely, and has a very good reputation in the court and among the people, although he is not very clear, it is better to be an official than Wang Chengxiang, who is not as good as returning to his hometown, but He Weiming does not enter Beijing, Wang Chengxiang runs faster than anyone else, and he can't go thousands of miles away with his bare hands to tie up someone to be the emperor.
The most important thing is that Chai Jin stayed out of the matter before, did not have the slightest involvement in the Changshou Palace tragedy, and never did anything to win over or harm the Chinese military officials, but after entering Beijing, he rearranged the defense of the capital and sent troops to take care of the homes of the civil and military officials, so as not to let anyone take the opportunity to make trouble and win the hearts of the hundred officials.
Although he didn't know who did it, Chai Jin finally had to accept this fact, and what he saw with his own eyes for many days did disgust him with this chaotic situation in which the Manchu civil and military forces were in constant fear.
So, three days later, hundreds of civil and military officials jointly sent a message to the world, elected Chai Jin as the new emperor of Dacheng, and officially ascended the throne on an auspicious day. Chai Jin also made a long decree, first to respect heaven and earth, and then to humble himself, and expressed a lot of grand visions in his heart, in human terms, that is, Chai Jin is not talented, blessed as the emperor, in the future, he will be wholeheartedly in charge of state affairs, and so on, and then announced the reduction of the palace use, light and meager taxes, and also directly exempted the three states in the west from the taxes of the year.
In this long edict, perhaps to make the people of Dacheng completely at ease, but also to show an attitude to the He family, first to seal He Miao, and then to the great shock of the world, the new emperor actually said straight to the point that he was injured in the north because of the early years of Dacheng's expedition to the north, and there was no heir, and then he set up his wife and nephew He Yuanshan as the prince, but it was useless to say that he was useless.
"The matter has come to this point, you can clean up the distant mountains, go back to see your father and mother, and prepare to go to the capital to participate in the new emperor's enthronement ceremony. I am not very relieved that your uncle will be the emperor, but your sister-in-law is the queen and you are the prince, but I am relieved.
In this world, it belongs to the emperor, the royal family, and the common people, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, it must be better for the people.
The third uncle is old, and he won't go to the enthronement ceremony in the capital, but it's still okay to watch half of the country for you. ”
He Weiming sighed, and after finishing speaking, he got up and left, his back was gone, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"My uncle taught me, and the children remembered that if there is anything wrong in the future, my uncle will teach me a lesson. Ask the uncle to bow down to the child. ”
He Buyu knelt down on the spot and sent off the third uncle He Weiming, but this trip to Yuyang made him insightful, and he knew the reason at this time, although he was extremely emotional, but he had already made up his mind to go with the flow and do his own thing.
