What Zhuang Bufan wanted was a chess book, which was most admired by his master Duan Tianming in his lifetime, and it was also what he wanted to find all his life.

It's a pity that until the old man died, he couldn't find that chess book.

To say that although that chess book is extraordinary, it has not reached the point of pricelessness. However, in the chess world, it is the supreme existence, because he was written by Shao Yong, a master of science in the Northern Song Dynasty.

This book records all kinds of exquisite chess games, and those who learn chess will get it, and their chess strength will be greatly improved, so in the chess world, its position is unshakable.

And the most important thing is because this chess game is a unique book, and there is only one copy that has been passed down to this day, and there is no defective imitation. Because there are only a handful of people who have seen him, and those who can own it regard it as a treasure, they are naturally reluctant to desecrate it, and making it a fake is the greatest insult to it.

The name of this chess book is "Vertical and Horizontal Spectrum", the world only knows that Shao Yong is a master of science, but they don't know that he learned from Guiguzi, and the deepest study is the art of vertical and horizontal.

As soon as his "Huangji Jingshi Book" came out, it was immediately spread wildly, and for a time Luoyang paper was expensive, and everyone rushed to copy it. When people saw his book, they were all shocked, and they couldn't imagine that there were such amazing people in this world.

However, his "Vertical and Horizontal Spectrum" was shelved, and few people knew about it, because this chess book is not only a chess book, but also a martial arts secret book, from which the most intelligent people can comprehend the supreme art of war. If the other party is open-minded, it is naturally the blessing of the community, and if that person is suspicious, then it will bring endless war to the world. The people are struggling to make a living, and wolves are everywhere.

Legend. During Shao Yong's illness and dying, the famous Confucian Sima Guang, Zhang Zai, Cheng Hao, and Cheng Yi were waiting for him to take care of him sooner or later. In order to get a glimpse of the content of "Vertical and Horizontal Spectrum".

Sima Guang, who had fought with Wang Anshi all his life, asked intuitively: "Sir, did you hand over the chess game to Jiefu?"

Jiefu is Wang Anshi's word, at this time Wang Anshi has been deposed for the second time, has been far away from the central power center, the political struggle in the deceit, intrigue made him disheartened, and because of the death of his beloved son Wang Yan, he was even more exhausted. So he no longer has any interest in politics, even if Sima Junshi in the Conservative Party repeatedly writes to abolish the new policy, he will let it go. There is no longer the edge of youth.

Hearing Sima Guang's inquiry, Shao Yong, who was seriously ill, smiled slightly, and said: "Although Jiefu has read the chess game, he has only learned the likeness, but not the god......

Everyone understood that "Vertical and Horizontal Spectrum" had already reached Wang Anshi's hands, but when he was in power, these people did not dare to touch him. Because he is the prime minister, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and even the emperor is his ally.

Even Wang Anshi has moved away from the imperial court, and power has been lost. These people also couldn't force him to hand over the chess book, knowing that his nickname of "Bad Minister" was not for nothing, if he was forced to do so. There is a good chance that the game will be burned by him.

Therefore, the most critical person today is Shao Yong. Although he was seriously ill, his mind was still clear. Everyone wanted him to tell his life's worth before he died, so these people were naturally more eager to know the content of the game.

But Shao Yong had already reached the time when the oil had run out, and when he was about to die, he summoned his son Shao Bowen to him and said, "If you want to bury me near the city, you should follow the grave of your ancestors, and everything should be simple. ”

This sentence completely broke everyone's thoughts, they could no longer make a fuss about his death, Shao Yong arranged everything after his death to be leaky, even if they wanted to check when he was buried, it was to no avail, with his intelligence and prudence, naturally they would not be given such a chance.

Therefore, in the hundreds of years after Shao Yong's death, "Vertical and Horizontal Spectrum" also disappeared in the rivers and lakes, although Sima Guang and others coveted the lone book in Wang Anshi's hands, they did not dare to mention a word in front of him. They tried their best to get the chess game from Wang Anshi, but they all returned in vain.

Before Wang Anshi died, he copied a page in the "Vertical and Horizontal Spectrum" and sent it to Sima Guang, after Sima Guang read it, he was ecstatic for three days, and the world thought that this powerful Xiangguo Lord had gone crazy.

After the death of Wang Anshi, a generation of heroes, Sima Guang was locked in his room and saddened for several days. This pair of political enemies cherished each other. It really fulfills the saying: a bitter enemy is more valuable than a confidant.

After Wang Anshi's death, slander from all sides followed, and Sima Guang immediately wrote to the emperor, commenting on Wang Anshi: "Jiefu's articles are righteous and have a lot of merits. But sex doesn't know things, and joy is not. To be loyal and estranged, slanderous and distant. In one sentence, there will be no young people attacking the dead Wang Anshi behind his back.

Sima Guang looked at the fragment from time to time, and then sighed: The rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the things hurt it.

It didn't take long for the man who was the ruler of the civil servants to pass away, and when his family found out, they only saw that he had burned the page of paper that was regarded as the pearl of his palm to ashes, but with a relieved smile on his face.

In the years that followed, there was turmoil, the shame of Jingkang, and then the Battle of Yashan, and the Central Plains suffered an unprecedented catastrophe. In the eyes of the scholars at that time, the tragedy and tragedy of Yashan were unprecedented, and the culture of the Central Plains almost suffered a devastating blow.

Similarly, the rivers and lakes that are closely integrated with the court have not been spared, although the rivers and lakes and the court are two different worlds, but they have a common cultural foundation and common blood. Under the iron hooves of Mongolia, many martial arts sects were razed to the ground, and countless heroes were crushed into mud.

This catastrophe lasted for a hundred years, until Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang successfully overthrew the rule of the Great Yuan, allowing the Han people to regain their own power, but unfortunately those brilliant cultures have long been gone. As the founding monarch, Emperor Taizu's bearing is really not deep, and the pattern is really not big, at least after he has the country, he can no longer tolerate other threatening people.

Therefore, he who has seen "Vertical and Horizontal Spectrum" does not allow such a peerless school that can change his life against the sky to exist in the world, in his opinion, if the descendants of the Zhu family want to play a role in the country for thousands of years, there cannot be too many people who know the will of heaven.

So under his butcher's knife back then, he killed more than 30,000 people because of the case of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, and then killed more than 15,000 people because of the case of General Lanyu.

In this catastrophe, the strange people who knew feng shui were almost extinct, and Emperor Taizu thought that this would be able to make the Zhu family's country immortal. But he underestimated Liu Bowen, who was in the world, and he didn't know that after Liu Bowen's death, the "Vertical and Horizontal Spectrum" that he hid would fall into the hands of Monk Daoyan.

Time, fortune, life, everything has a fixed number, the reincarnation of heaven, life is endless! )
