Xiao Rang twisted his long hair and smiled slightly: "According to the humble position, this letter should be from the hand of the fourth prince Yinzhen." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The meaning is nothing more than trying to win over adults. ”

Liu Jingxuan nodded: "Mr. guessed well." What should I do, sir?"

Xiao Rang groaned for a moment and said, "As we all know, these four princes are princelings. The struggle between the princelings and the Eight Masters has been going on for a long time, and the entire court, and even today's saints, know it. Kangxi Ye was very disgusted with the court, and the ministers attached themselves to the prince for party struggle. If the Lord clings to the Four Princes this time, he may be criticized one day. Therefore, according to the humble and humble opinion, it is better for adults to be false and prevaricated, and to decline politely. The four princes are upright and meticulous, and I believe that they will be forgotten after a long time. ”

Liu Jingxuan shook his head: "I don't think it's appropriate. The four princes Yinzhen did act decisively and uprightly. But this person is very deep-seated, harsh and narrow-minded. If I reject him today, and one day he will be in charge, I am afraid that there will be no place for this official to die. ”

Xiao Rang's face changed slightly: "What do you want to do?"

Liu Jingxuan narrowed his eyes, and his fingers subconsciously tapped the table a few times: "Hypocrisy and the snake must be done, but his request cannot be refused." ”

Xiao Rang frowned tightly and said, "I think the prince is not favored in front of the saint, and he may not be able to ascend to the throne in the future." The prestige of the Eighth Prince among the courtiers was extremely high. If the eighth master ascends the throne in the future, it will be found out that you are a princeling. My lord, I'm afraid your fate is even more unthinkable. ”

Liu Jingxuan smiled faintly: "The Eighth Prince Yinzhen is different from the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, and he still has some minds. In the future, if the eighth prince really ascends the throne and sits in the palace, even if the fate of the crown prince and the fourth prince is very tragic, the rest of the people should not be affected. Yinxi is smart and wise, and good at buying people's hearts. He knew that the real enemies were the crown prince and the four princes, not those who were attached to the crown prince. As long as the crown prince and the four princes are completely defeated to the point that they cannot turn over, those who are attached to the party will naturally switch to him. Yinzhen is different. He's a man who will repay him. So I decided to accede to his request for the time being. I'm not going to ask for anything in return from him, though. ”

Xiao Rang's face was solemn, and he sighed: "In the opinion of adults, I deeply cherish my humble position. But in the future, if you want to get out of it, I'm afraid it will be difficult. ”

Liu Jingxuan sighed and said: "Officialdom is like a battlefield, and it is difficult to choose to be a leader. By the way, I haven't played chess for a long time, and I just happened to have nothing to do today, so it's good for you to accompany me to Slender West Lake. ”

Xiao Rang said with a wry smile: "Why did the adults run so far by themselves. If you want to find Lin Daohong to play chess, Tuo Chujing will go to Daming Temple to invite him. ”

Liu Jingxuan waved his hand and said, "Since the last time I played chess with Mr. Lin, I haven't heard from Mr. Lin. Although Chu Jinglian promised to contact me for me. But King Xian College already owes him a great favor. These little things also want to trouble this Chu Jinglian, so where will my face as the prefect go. It's better if you can see Mr. Lin in Slender West Lake, if you can't see him, forget it. Let it be. ”

Xiao Rang's face was cloudy, he nodded, and shook his head again.

Liu Jingxuan took Xiao Rang to Slender West Lake. The scenery of Slender West Lake in September is very beautiful. There were still rows of willow trees by the lake, but the autumn wind had subtracted some of the willow leaves and draped them over the branches. The sun shines on the surface of the Slender West Lake, with golden scales and sparkling waves.

Liu Jingxuan's eyes lit up, it was still the big tree, and under the tree was still the calm and relaxed Lin Daohong. The only difference was that there was no Master Zhiyue, and sitting opposite Lin Daohong was a young man wearing a lilac robe and a black veil covering his face. Behind the masked boy stood two middle-aged men, both dressed in gray robes, each with a sword hanging from their waists, without the slightest expression on their faces.

Liu Jingxuan and Xiao Rang walked to the big tree and quietly watched Lin Daohong play against the masked man. It can be seen from the chessboard that the masked child's chess skills are not high, but the childe's expression and bearing are different. Whether it is his starting hand, lifting, or falling, he is not slow, his posture is elegant, and his temperament is detached. Lin Daohong's face did not have any expression, and his movements were also very chic and elegant. After a while, the chess game between the two was over.

I saw that the boy raised his head, arched his hand, and said lightly: "Mr. Lin's chess skills are exquisite, and he admires him in his later years." ”

Lin Daohong also said lightly: "Childe is too humble, by..." Lin Daohong raised his head slightly, and his expression couldn't help but stagnate.

Liu Jingxuan's face was full of spring, and he arched his hand and said: "Disturb the peace of the two, forgive sins, forgive sins." ”

Lin Daohong hurriedly got up, bowed down and said, "Meet the prefect." ”

The masked boy glanced at Liu Jingxuan and Xiao Rang, got up slowly, and then nodded to Liu Jingxuan: "It turned out to be Lord Liu." Disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

Xiao Rang frowned and did not speak.

Liu Jingxuan clenched his fists and arched his hands and said, "Mr. Lin, this son, please." I don't know what this son is called?"

The masked boy said lightly: "Under Jin Chunyu." ”

Liu Jingxuan smiled slightly and looked the masked boy up and down. He saw that the masked man was wearing a black melon skin hat, although his face was covered with black veil, and under the two inky willow eyebrows, a pair of eyes as clear as a deep pool were not covered by black veil.

"It turned out to be Jin Gongzi, fortunately, fortunately. But I don't know why Jin Gongzi refuses to show his face?"

Jin Chun groaned slightly, and said softly: "I look ugly down there, and I am ashamed to see people, so I mask my face with a veil, and I hope that the adults will forgive me." ”

Liu Jingxuan nodded, smiled and said, "I see." I asked abruptly. ”

Jin Chun smiled in his eyes, and said in a soothing tone: "Dare to ask Lord Liu this time, don't you want to play against Mr. Lin again?"

Liu Jingxuan was a little embarrassed when Jin Chunxuan said that he was thinking: "That's what I mean." I don't have any special hobbies in my life, but I'm a little obsessed with chess. Being able to meet Mr. Lin, a chess master, can be said to be a long-cherished wish of his life. ”

A touch of crimson floated on Lin Daohong's cheeks.

Jin Chunyu gently lifted the robe under his feet and took a step closer to Liu Jingxuan: "I heard that Lord Liu once defeated Mr. Lin in one fell swoop, and he made a lot of noise and became famous in Yangzhou. Why are you fighting Mr. Lin again today?"

Liu Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly returned to his senses: "The road of chess is not about winning or losing, but about its wonder." Only when you know the way do you know it, you know it. Winning or losing, winning or losing is just a passing thing. Knowing the avenue is what my generation wants. ”

Jin Chunfu frowned slightly: "I am a beginner, and I don't know the mystery of chess." Dare to ask Lord Futai, what is the mystery in this pattern, and what kind of avenue is there?"
