A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 553: Bringing Humiliation to Oneself

Frying pot stickers requires pouring sauce, which is usually soup. Only stingy people will water it, and then the pot stickers are so unpalatable that they make you want to vomit.

The mutton soup pot stickers tasted a little weird, but not bad.

Shen An ate five in one breath, and Zhao Yunrang said: "It's a good thing that young people can eat it. Zhongzhen can eat it."

There was a hint of sadness between his brows, "I'd better be more cautious from now on, so that Thirteenth Lang can feel at ease."

From then on, Zhao Yunrang should be more relaxed, and he could not be arrogant until Zhao Shu came to power.

It’s okay if Pu Yi doesn’t come!

Shen An nodded in agreement, and he would naturally tell Zhao Zhongzhen the next time he left the palace.

Zhao Yunrang stood up, glanced at the Imperial City first, and then patted Shen An on the shoulder, "I heard people say... They said that if you are too academic in this imperial examination, you may not be able to pass it, but I don't believe it."

Shen An raised his head and said, "We'll see."

"good!"

The exam is over, and then comes the marking.

After taking the exam, the candidates began to relax, and all entertainment venues in the capital were occupied by them.

For a time, poems were flying all over the place, and articles were flowing like water.

Zhao Yunbi was also among them.

He invited Zhao Yunliang and his son to have a drink today.

Fanlou is the top shopping place in the Song Dynasty, and those who come here to spend money are at least not short of money.

Candidates who are not short of money will naturally have a background, and people with a background will naturally speak with bullshit.

"You must pass the Fajie Test! If you fail...but I will ask you to wait and eat at Fanlou for ten days!"

"Okay, bold!"

"..."

Zhao Yunliang and his son looked gloomy, probably they had not yet recovered from the shock of Zhao Shu entering the palace.

The dinner was inevitably a little gloomy, Zhao Yunbi said with a smile: "This matter... the official's health is good, let's take a look."

Zhao Yunliang shook his head slightly but said nothing.

Shaking your head is attitude.

——The official family will not live long!

Not long ago, the official family suddenly fainted again, and even the prime ministers and ministers came to the palace to stay overnight, which shows that it is not simple.

"Zhao Zongshi... Zhao Shu came to power..."

Zhao Yunbi said calmly: "At that time..."

Zhao Yunliang's eyes became colder: "Just admit defeat."

"But you fought."

Zhao Yunbi said calmly: "It is a crime to argue, don't you know this truth?"

Certain positions cannot be fought for, otherwise there will be no success or death.

You won't die if you die, but living under such high pressure is worse than death.

Zhao Yunliang's face was pale, and Zhao Zongjiang didn't look good either.

Zhao Yunbi raised his glass, covering half of his face with his long sleeves, and glanced at Zhao Yunliang when he raised his head.

"Don't give up easily..."

He filled himself up with wine and raised his glass.

Zhao Yunliang hesitated and shook his head, but Zhao Zongjiang raised his glass.

Zhao Yunliang sighed and raised his glass.

"So lively!"

"Brother An Bei, most of these people are candidates, they are so proud!"

"Not urgent."

"They benefited from you but didn't thank you..."

"What are you saying thank you for? This is being circulated publicly, so there is no need."

In the room, Zhao Yunliang put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice: "Shen An!"

"Whose name is XX!"

Zhao Yunbi drank a glass of wine with regret, and the door was pushed open. Shen An smiled and said outside the door: "It's rare for two princes to come out to drink together."

Zhao Yunliang lowered his eyes, hiding the hatred in his eyes.

He hates it!

He hated Zhao Zhen for not choosing his son.

He was even more worried that since Zhao Zhen chose Zhao Shu, why would he bring his son on stage to fight Zhao Shu.

This is a deception!

Yes, Zhao Zhen was unwilling to give up his rights at that time and felt that he could still have children, so he came up with two alternatives to take advantage of the opportunity, but the essence was to delay time.

But the women in the palace only gave birth to the princess, and the prince was nowhere to be seen.

Hateful!

Zhao Yunbi said with a smile: "I like to play chess, do you understand?"

Shen An smiled and said: "I know a little bit, but I am just a wild fox Zen, and I don't dare to make people laugh."

Zhao Yunbi said: "Chess is like a person, and chess is like a battle formation. When people come, prepare chess."

"It's the two county princes playing chess with Shen An."

The news leaked out instantly, and all the candidates left their food and drinks to watch the fun together.

The shopkeeper came in with a smile and asked: "There are many people outside, do you want to block them?"

Zhao Yunbi didn't look at him and asked Shen An: "The weather is nice, how about enjoying the cool breeze outside?"

This is to prepare to use Go to humiliate Shen An.

Don't agree!

Zhe Kexing frowned on the side.

"good."

Zhao Yunbi laughed when he heard this, stood up and said, "Let's get down right now."

Zhao Yunliang glanced at Shen An and said, "You are humiliating yourself."

Shen An said: "Let's wait and see."

Later, outside, there was a table, two chairs, and a pot of tea.

"please!"

"You're welcome if you do that."

Zhao Yunbi went first and got down according to the rules.

The seat is at the four-four position.

After the seats were placed, the chess game began.

Because of the noble status of Zhao Yunbi and Zhao Yunliang, no one dared to get close to look at them, and they all surrounded them.

The surroundings were tightly surrounded, so the cool breeze naturally disappeared.

The chess game is in progress.

Zhao Yunbi seized a corner of Shen An's land, raised his head and said with a smile: "This is digging roots."

Shen An smiled and performed a single jump on the right side, instantly looking like he was surrounded.

Zhao Yunbi unceremoniously invaded and disappeared from the edge.

The two sides started fighting.

Shen An's moves seemed careless, but they were still full of White's anger.

"You want to kill my dragon?"

Zhao Yunbi said calmly: "I used to be bloodthirsty when playing chess, and often left the opponent with no chance of survival. Now that I am older, I understand the principle of defeating others without fighting. Young people, you must know that chess style is like a human being." , being too aggressive is not a good thing, it can easily lead to collapse..."

"We'll see."

Shen An made a move and clicked directly in the middle of one of the three eyes, destroying White's eye position.

"It's too rough, Chi Guoguo's killing move."

"I've never seen chess played like this."

"Keeping your opponent's vital points at every step, who has ever seen this kind of chess style?"

"I haven't seen it before, and I haven't seen it in ancient records either."

"That's a first?"

"Yes, Shen An has pioneered many things, and now he is also unique in playing chess. This is him."

"But something is wrong with Black."

"If we can't kill this one, Shen An will lose."

"Robbery!"

"Oh! It's actually a life-and-death disaster!"

The so-called calamity of life and death is a calamity that can determine the outcome of a game of chess.

"Now it's better to rob materials..."

Someone with sharp eyes at a close distance said in surprise: "The black chess piece is strangling the white chess piece. This is a source of unlimited calamity..."

Damn it!

Anyone who knows Go knows what to fear from robbery.

The most fearful thing is this kind of infinite calamity involving the life and death of a large piece of chess.

What a slap in the face!

Shen An raised his head and said calmly: "I said we'll wait and see. What does the prince think?"

His voice was calm, without any hint of showoff or pride.

But Zhao Yunbi felt hot all over.

He boasted that he was very good at chess, but Shen An had never heard of playing Go. Even if he knew a little bit, how could a young man compete with an old player like himself?

He raised his head slightly and said with a smile: "I...how did I lose?"

From the beginning to the end, Shen An did not show any superior chess skills. He just fought whenever he saw an opportunity, which made him quite uncomfortable, but he also disdained it.

At this time, Go was an elegant sport. Although there is a saying that "the game of chess has no name since ancient times," elegant and beautiful chess patterns are the pursuit of all chess players.

For example, Xiao Fei looks at the solitary peak rising up, and the fairy is flying out of the sky. It's beautiful, right?

But people like Shen An will only forcefully break your Xiao Fei and destroy the beauty of your chess form.

Shen An raised his head and said calmly: "You don't even know how you lost, so why are you asking me?"

He looked at Zhao Yunbi, "You invite someone to join the game, you make the first move... You are the first in everything... Do you want to review it?"

You took the initiative to intervene in the fight between princes, and now you have lost, but you don’t know how you lost.

You must be very confused and in pain, right?

So you are very unwilling.

You want to pull your hair, get angry, punch someone.

But you still don’t know how you lost.

So you want to check the process of this competition with your opponent and want to know how you lost.

Zhao Yunbi nodded slightly, very elegantly.

"As expected, he is the king of the county. His demeanor is difficult for ordinary people to match."

Zhao Yunbi's demeanor attracted admiration from onlookers.

Shen An stood up, then leaned over and said, "I don't want to."

He turned and walked out, and the crowd moved out of the way.

"Wai Zhao, thank you for your advice!"

"Thank you for the imperial edict."

"Awaiting the order, if I pass the hair release test this time, I will treat you to a drink next time."

"..."

Shen An smiled and cupped his hands, feeling that there were still many grateful people in this world.

"Waiting for the imperial edict, I would like to ask if the Imperial Academy will force me to wait for the provincial examination next year?"

This question was rather abrupt. Shen An looked at the speaker and thought about it.

Everyone is also looking forward to it.

"We'll see."

After Shen An said this, he left directly. He made an appointment with Wang Tiande to have dinner here today, and there were also some businessmen.

Behind him, Zhao Yunbi squinted at his back and said calmly: "This guy is domineering."

Zhao Yunliang and his son had been watching the battle on the sidelines, and they both looked gloomy at the moment.

There was something in Shen An's words, hinting to them that Zhao Yunbi might have some small thoughts.

But you have already lost, so what’s the use of talking about it now?

"you lose."

Zhao Yunliang sighed: "He has been playing tricks on you from the beginning to the end. You captured the corner, but he surrounded it with a strong force. The strong force is an iron wall, and you have to hit it, even if you hit your head and get bloody... Then you did get hit."

Zhao Zongjiang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Yunliang let out a sigh, and then slowly stood up: "Go home, I have just gained some insights. You and I, father and son, will work together to retreat for two days. I think we will gain something."

Zhao Zongjiang lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Zhao Yunliang asked Zhao Yunbi: "Are you willing to live without grain?"

Zhao Yunbi thought he was just a joke, UUreading www.uukanshu.net shook his head and said: "I have a bad stomach."

"The great road, the great road, when can we reach it?"

Zhao Yunliang sighed and went out. Zhao Zongjiang winked and his entourage ran away. When he came back, he had an oil paper bag in his hand.

"Mr. Lang, he's a fat chicken..."

A roasted chicken gleams in oil paper.

"I'm so full!"

Zhao Zongjiang was already eighty percent full after eating, and the chicken in front of him weighed at least two kilograms...

Zhao Yunliang in front turned around, frowned and said: "How can you achieve great success with such a dishonest heart? Come on, give me a chicken leg..."

Thanks to the book friend "Yue Zhan Bai Gui" for rewarding the leader, this is the second one, thank you.
