Great Sui Cheng'an, Imperial City, Jingwei Pavilion.

The surrounding of the Jingwei Pavilion is surrounded by green trees, the grass and trees are getting deeper, and a hexagonal pavilion is located here. Although Cheng'an is difficult to smell spring, the birds and flowers here are fragrant, and the spring is beautiful.

An elegant middle-aged scribe in green clothes sat cross-legged on a straw mat, with a nineteen-dimensional chessboard in front of him, holding a black chess piece in his hand, looking at the staggered chess pieces in front of him and thinking secretly.

After a while, a chess piece fell, and the green-clothed scribe picked up a white chess piece and frowned slightly.

The pot of tea beside the scribe had long since lost the slightest warmth.

The tea leaves that are silent at the bottom of the teapot are called Tingchun.

At this moment, a group of people walked out of the winding path, led by a middle-aged man in a yellow robe, with a white face and a slender body, but the dark circles on his face were a little heavy. Beside him, an old man with a flattering smile, and a line of palace maids with good figures holding fruit plates and wine followed in small steps.

The middle-aged man in the yellow robe laughed when he saw the white-clothed scribe, "Qinghe, I know that you are hiding in this place and playing chess alone!

Since this man dares to wear a yellow robe, he is naturally the Ninety-Five Emperor of the Great Sui Kingdom, Emperor Wen of Sui.

The Tsing Yi scribe still sat in deep thought, oblivious to what was going on.

Emperor Wen of Sui had a strange face, and the old man beside him who was holding a dust whisk asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want it?"

Emperor Wen of Sui shook his head, stepped forward with light steps, walked a few steps around the green-clothed scribe, and suddenly slapped on the chessboard, "Qinghe!"

The Tsing Yi scribe was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly got up and saluted Emperor Wen of Sui, "Meet Your Majesty!"

Emperor Wen of Sui pretended to be in a tone, and did not say anything flat, sat opposite the scribe in Tsing Yi by himself, picked up a pot of tea placed next to the chessboard and smelled it, frowning.

The husband's eyesight, who was all white, was naturally not bad, and he hurriedly ordered a palace maid to remove the pot of tea and replace it with a pot of good wine.

The Tsing Yi scribe still bent over and did not get up.

Tasting the wine carefully, Sui Wenhuang's face gradually changed from smug to embarrassed, and he snorted.

The old eunuch beside him hurriedly trotted all the way to the Tsing Yi scribe, leaned over and whispered two words in his ear, and the Tsing Yi scribe dared to straighten up, as if he was smiling.

Emperor Wen of Sui became more and more annoyed, "Sit down, and show me your face? Are you still holding a grudge in your heart for lifting your chessboard?"

The scribe in Tsing Yi said he didn't dare, but when he sat down, he was generous.

Seeing that the Tsing Yi scribe leaned over and was about to pick up the chess pieces left on the ground, Sui Wenhuang frowned and said, "What are you picking up? Isn't it just a few chess pieces?"

With a wave of her hand, a palace maid held two boxes of chess pieces made of fine ivory and black jade and gently placed them on the edge of the chessboard, and was about to remove the previous chess box, but the green-clothed scribe pressed his hand on the chess box.

With a serious expression, the Tsing Yi scribe sat up straight, "Even ordinary people know that diligence and thrift are never poor, and the truth that the mountain of food is empty, why doesn't Your Majesty know?"

Emperor Wen of Sui's face was full of anger, "Yao Aiqing, are you teaching me a lesson?"

The scribe in Tsing Yi was dressed properly, and his face did not change, "Your Majesty has ever known that Ma Weipo is going with hatred, and thousands of generations are laughing at the poem of the faint king?"

Sui Wenhuang's face was pale, his lips squirmed slightly, and he finally softened. With a long breath, he waved his hand to let the palace maid holding the chess box retreat, and leaned down again and began to pick up the chess pieces that fell on the ground.

The Tsing Yi scribe nodded, holding the chess pieces in his hand and began to restore the previous chessboard.

When Emperor Wen of Sui picked up the chess pieces, he saw that the scribe in Tsing Yi was actually looking at the chessboard, so he was not annoyed, and finally he laughed angrily, turned his head and said to the old eunuch next to him: "Look at him, I have become a chess boy who does chores for him!"

The old eunuch bowed slightly, and he was not alarmed, "Your Majesty's words are inappropriate, everyone in the world is Your Majesty's chess boy!"

Emperor Wen of Sui pursed his lips, turned his head to look at the Tsing Yi scribe, and patted the chessboard in annoyance, "Yao Qinghe, are you too ignorant of me?

was slapped by this force, and the chess pieces on the chessboard were a little messed up again. The Tsing Yi scribe who called Yao Qinghe smiled helplessly, and explained while recovering the chessboard: "I look at the chessboard, like looking at the country, this country is naturally His Majesty's country!"

Emperor Wen of Sui laughed twice, "I didn't expect you to be able to say such sycophants!", he was laughing, and suddenly his face fell silent again, and he poured himself a glass of wine.

Yao Qinghe pondered for a moment and finally dropped the last piece, his face moved slightly, and he put the chess pieces back into the Dao chess box one by one, and then pushed the black chess box in front of Emperor Wen of Sui, "Please play a game with Weichen, Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Wen of Sui raised his eyebrows, "Let me have a few sons?"

"Nine sons, no more!"

"That's it!"

So I started playing chess.

Looking at Emperor Wen of Sui's first falling son Tianyuan, and then falling into the four-pointed star position of the Quartet, Yao Qinghe smiled slightly, picked up the teacup placed beside him, and just put the teacup in front of him, he suddenly frowned, it turned out that the Tingchun tea in the teacup did not know when it was replaced with sake.

Sui Wenhuang squeezed his eyes, "What's the point of eating tea?

Yao Qinghe originally wanted to refuse, but then he didn't know what he thought, so he took a sip of wine slightly, and his face was slightly red.

Seeing that the two of them began to eat and drink, the old eunuch secretly beckoned, beckoned the palace maid who was standing aside and waiting for the call, and slowly walked to a corner that he couldn't see, and closed his eyes slightly.

"Haha, I'm poor at drinking, so I can only drink you as a nerd who doesn't drink a drop of alcohol!"

Yao Qinghe didn't argue, put down the teacup gently, dropped it casually, and said: "Why does Your Majesty have the leisure to come to Jingwei Pavilion to play against Weichen today, has the government affairs been handled?"

"Don't talk about government affairs, it's annoying!"

The scribe in Tsing Yi stopped falling, and looked at Emperor Sui Wen with an expressionless face.

"What do you see? I just said that government affairs are annoying, but I didn't say that I will put government affairs aside!"

Fall.

"I heard a few days ago that there were some visions in the twelve kingdoms of the Southern Dynasties, do you know what's going on?" Emperor Wen of Sui glanced at the chessboard with his wine glass, and hurriedly said, "Wait! I made a mistake! I should have been in this place!"

Let Emperor Wen of Sui regret his son, Yao Qinghe said: "The prosperous Chen State didn't know what the situation had in the past few years, and the national strength was declining day by day. However, Houliang, who was in the most difficult situation, suddenly emerged, and in just five years, he occupied a position among the twelve kingdoms of the Southern Dynasties!"

Emperor Wen of Sui frowned slightly, "Could it be that there are national soldiers to help?"

Yao Qinghe nodded, "Exactly! I heard the spy say that a few years ago, Liang had a ghost talent, surnamed Zhang." It's probably this person who manipulated it single-handedly!" Holding the chess pieces in his hand for a while, he didn't fall into the move, "Actually, even if the twelve kingdoms of the Southern Dynasties have a big situation, it can't reach us, I just remembered a character, Xisu Demon Master!"

More than ten years ago, when the Great Sui Kingdom unified the northern border and was about to take advantage of the situation to go south, it was unexpectedly stopped alive by a small country for three years and three hundred and sixty days!

This country is called Xisu, the national strength is exhausted, and it is in decline.

You can stop the Great Sui National Iron Rider with only one person, Demon Master!

Great wisdom is not stupid, but like a demon!

"Xisu remnants?" Emperor Wen of Sui's eyes lit up slightly, and fell, "Can it become a climate?"

Yao Qinghe shook his head, and suddenly nodded again, "This matter can be big or small, dispensable!"

"How is the method of size?"

Yao Qinghe was about to speak, but suddenly his face was strange, "Why is Your Majesty asking this? Anyway, Your Majesty doesn't understand!"

Emperor Wen of Sui was furious, "You dog thief dare to talk to me like this?

As soon as the words fell, I saw a black figure emerge from the shadow of Emperor Wen of Sui, holding a black blade and walking slowly towards Yao Qinghe!

Emperor Wen of Sui was stunned, shocked, and hurriedly trotted up to stop the man, "I'm kidding!

The black figure dissipated.

Emperor Wen of Sui breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Yao Qinghe and looked at himself with a smile, and said angrily: "I have to cut off your head one day!"

Play chess again.

The two didn't talk about Fang Cai anymore, and Yao Qinghe asked, "How does Your Majesty treat Master Huang?"

Emperor Wen Sui's face moved slightly, "Isn't that just like that?" It's just that I think that Huang Xueche is only afraid that he will also be a corrupt official in the future, so I will have to suppress it appropriately?"

The corners of Yao Qinghe's mouth were slightly hooked, "People in charge of business must be greedy, this is human nature!

Emperor Wen of Sui nodded.

Yao Qinghe asked again: "Is the old general of Xichu Pei in good health?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Wen of Sui's face was slightly sad, and he sighed, "Old General Pei is quite tough now, but after all, he is an old man in his seventies! Besides, there is only one most unmotivated little grandson left in the Pei family, I feel a little ashamed of the Pei family!"

"What is that kid calling?"

"Pei Changfeng!"

"It's a good name, but it's just that things here are the most impermanent, and I can't say for sure!"

Emperor Wen of Sui nodded, but the speed of adding wine to the wine glass was five or six points faster. A game of chess has not yet been played, and Emperor Wen of Sui has already smoked.

"Qinghe, there are some things in my heart that I have never spoken, and now I want to tell you about alcohol!"

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"Wash your ears!" The man who sat on the north wall of Huangtian Jingzhou seemed to be really drunk, and his words could make the entire Great Sui Kingdom shocked, "Actually, I really don't want to be this emperor." Shhhh

Yao Qinghe didn't speak.

"Tell me that my father was originally in the prime of life, and I still thought that I would take advantage of my father's reign for a few more days, so that I could do more things that were vicious and unkind in the streets, and the later the matter of the dispute between the party and the henchmen, the better! But I don't know what happened, my father and the emperor collapsed all of a sudden, and even my majestic eldest brother lost the position of prince, and my compassionate second brother didn't know what he had done and fell! Leaving my third brother only interested in practicing martial arts, he has always looked down on the throne! In the end, it turned out that I, the most idle and unserious person, became the emperor, Qinghe, you can tell me, there are really a lot of strange things these years!"

When he raised his head and took a big sip of wine, Emperor Wen of Sui sighed twice, "It's just that, I really don't have the ability to be an emperor! Tell me, I don't have the heroic mind of my eldest brother, and I don't have the ability of my second brother to grasp people's hearts, let alone my third brother can endure hardships, why is it my turn to be an emperor?"

I still remember when I was a child, my imperial grandfather told me when he was lying on the hospital bed, and he said that we are kings, and the dividing line between the Ming monarch and the faint monarch is actually very clear and clear! This Ming Jun does not like the courtiers to say nice things to himself, so he likes the courtiers to scold himself, and the more ruthless the scolding, the happier he will be! It is also said that there is an ancient saying that the palace women are not selfish kings, the courtiers are not afraid of the king, and there are no requests for the king in the four realms: from this point of view, the king is very hidden!"

"After I became the emperor, I was confused, I didn't know how to pretend to be majestic in the court, I didn't know how to criticize and fold, I didn't know how to recognize people, Yao Aiqing, fortunately I have you!"

Yao Qinghe flicked, "The duty of a courtier!"

"They all say that it is the duty of a courtier, but how many can do the duty of a courtier? I can't see it clearly, and in the end I only remember what the imperial grandfather told me. It's just that I can't do this kind of thing that the emperor's grandfather said, the more the courtiers scold, the happier they become, so I have to take one of them! Someone says nice things to me, and I am actually happy, but they tell me not to take this to heart! If someone scolds me, although I am angry, I have to savor whether this person's scolding is reasonable! Qinghe, you talk about it, you say that even if I can't be a Ming Jun by doing this, I can't be regarded as a faint king!"

Yao Qinghe sighed: "Your Majesty is really the Emperor of the Ages!"

Emperor Wen of Sui was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly: "Look, what nice words you say, but I can't take it to heart! It's too embarrassing to be an emperor!"

The surface of the Yao Qing River is like a spring breeze, just like back then.

That year, Emperor Wen of Sui ran out of the palace because of the messy matters, and walked all the way to a rural village and saw a dilapidated private school, so he stopped and listened to a few words.

But the more I listened to the teacher's lecture, the more I felt that I had benefited a lot, and hurriedly dressed up, waved his hands and went to the door, straight to the point: "I see that Mr. is like seeing the green mountains and sunny, please ask Mr. to lend me three points of scholarly business, and I dare to return Mr. a piece of Lang Lang." ”

At that time, Yao Qinghe, who was still a scholar in his twenties, smiled like a spring breeze and said yes!
