At dinner, Meng Fang and Zhang Dongzheng ordered wine and food to be prepared, a "banquet" for Chao Hong and his daughter. The timid members of Lord Wang's party naturally didn't dare to come. Baili Tang also didn't show up.
Yesterday, I was selling something for my father's funeral. I knelt for half a day and was locked up in the woodshed that night. Today, I went to carry manure, walked from the palace to Liangjiazhuang, watered the vegetables, and even had a mud fight with a group of unruly people. When I came back, I was slapped twice.
Think about Chao Man'er. She has lived for sixteen years and has never suffered such humiliation.
It seemed as if she had suffered all the anger in her life in these two days.
Be nicer in attitude and act for a few days first, and then you can get close to the tyrant. A little impatience will ruin a big plan.
My, Chao Man'er, greatest ability is to "endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens."
Thinking of this, Chao Man'er ate his food and vegetables quickly.
"Why is the food so bland?" Chao Man'er couldn't help but think of what Eunuch Yang said to her last night, about the fat pig wanting to lose weight, so she simply shut up.
No matter how thin a pig is, it is still a pig and will never look good.
"Master Zhang, could you sing a song to liven things up?" Chao Hong asked. He also liked that song. Chao Man'er's eyes lit up. Including General Meng.
"No. I am afraid of disturbing your Majesty's rest."
"Let's sing somewhere else!" said Chao Man'er.
"I'm not in the right mood today." What do you think he is? An actor? Just rap?
"Hmph!" Chao Man'er snorted, expressing her dissatisfaction. She didn't have to sing, she was exhausted these past two days anyway. It was all Pang Hai's fault, for always giving her such bad advice.
After midnight, do you want to go and scare the tyrant emperor?
No, you have to please the tyrant first.
Who would have thought that Chao Man'er would not wake up until noon tomorrow? She was a little distressed that she lived in the house of a tyrant emperor, and she had let her guard down.
"Could there be something wrong with last night's meal?"
Chao Man'er is a cute and brainless girl. She only blames her father for protecting her too well over the years. Although the Chao family has suffered a great disaster, she has never suffered any hardship.
Unlike his daughter, Chao Hong had a sleepless night. After breakfast, he went to play chess with Baili Tang. He remembered Baili Tang as a top-notch chess player, with few rivals in Jing State.
This is true.
Baili Tang was a man of great calculations. Even in chess, he was very cautious. He often sacrificed pawns to protect the king. Even if he only had a few pieces left, he would win.
Just like back then, he gave up the Chao family to keep his throne.
It is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature.
Even though Baili Tang lost his memory, he still couldn't change his competitive spirit.
If that were the case, Chao Hong would try his best to keep Baili Tang here.
An emperor who is competitive, stubborn and self-righteous is definitely not a blessing for the people.
In order to win a battle, Baili Tang fought back the lost cities, but ended up losing more and more!
Chao Hong wasn't the one who wanted to kill Baili Tang the most. Nearly 200,000 Ye family soldiers were harmed by Baili Tang...
There are only two direct descendants of the Ye family left now, one is the Grand Marshal Ye Chao, and the other is Ye Chao’s only remaining daughter, the famous female general of Jing State, Ye Hongxue!
Ye Chao's father, uncle, his uncle's sons, Ye Chao's sons... all died tragically on the battlefield thanks to Baili Tang!
"A chess game?"
Hearing that Chao Hong wanted to play chess with him, Baili Tang frowned.
Ancient people played either Xiangqi (Chinese chess) or Go. Yu Tang disliked playing chess, any kind of game. A game of Xiangqi could take as little as half an hour, or as long as two or three hours, or even longer. Go was even more of a stretch.
If you have this much time, you might as well do a few more squats in your room and lose a few pounds.
As a modern person, Yu Tang knows how difficult it is to lose weight. There are thousands of diet pills on the market, but if they were all effective, why would there still be so many obese people?
Fortunately, he found that he had really lost a lot of weight during this period, at least ten kilograms, right?
Chao Hong's chess playing was fake, but his attempt to find out the truth was real.
Wouldn’t it be terrible if he found out that his chess skills were not that good?
"Got it, District chess!!"
What is "Qu Zi Qi"?
Quzi chess is a two-player game popular among the people. Each player has two chess pieces, and the winner is the one who can trap the other.
It is also called suffocating a cow to death, blocking a pit toilet, jumping into a well, and eating tiger chess.
Because the game is simple to play, it is generally used for children's enlightenment education.
After Baili Tang finished drawing on the white paper with charcoal, he ordered Eunuch Yang to bring four Go pieces.
"Your Majesty, why only four?" Can you still play chess with four pieces? This is unheard of! Eunuch Yang thought to himself.
"Well, two black and two white!"
A moment later, in the pavilion of the palace.
Baili Tang, Liang Qiuyu, Xiaolian, Chao Hong and his daughter, Meng Fang, Zhang Wang and other adults all came to watch.
After the typhoon, Xiyun County became hot again. Fortunately, there were palace maids who kept fanning Baili Tang.
Baili Tang explained: "This is a tiger-eating chess move."
It sounds so bad to call it Quzi chess, it’s better to just call it Chihu chess.
"It's thrilling and exciting, and you have to be fast when you play. If you're slow, it will take days and nights to finish."
There are only four chess pieces and one empty space, and it will take days and nights to finish the game?
You are the emperor, you have the final say! You can cheat anyone you want!
"Just block it?" Chao Hong said speechlessly, "Then whoever makes a move first will win."
Baili Tang rolled his eyes at him and then placed the chess pieces in place: "Eat less garlic on a daily basis, and don't be so arrogant."
He arranged the chess pieces in such a way that the center of the "zone" was empty, the left side was filled with white pieces, and the right side was filled with black pieces. No matter which of the four pieces went out first, they could not block the opponent's pieces.
"Great!" Lord Zhang said with a smile.
"Guests are welcome, please come in!" Baili Tang said.
Chao Hong was not polite and pushed his white chess piece to the center. Baili Tang also pushed his chess piece.
After pushing it back and forth like this for about a dozen times, the prince became impatient.
"There's no solution to this chess game!"
Yes, everyone found out!
"Even three-year-old children don't play with it!" Chao Man'er snorted.
Baili Tang looked at her with a smile: "Yes, this chess game is suitable for you and your daughter to play. It is used for children's enlightenment education."
"Hahaha!" General Meng couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter.
Liang Qiuyu smiled and shook her head. Xiaolian quickly covered her mouth, afraid of laughing out loud.
How could Chao Hong not be angry, but he couldn't be angry. Baili Tang was deliberately mocking them and making them angry.
——You misunderstood me. You are actually insulting my IQ.
"Hurry up, this chess game doesn't require any thought at all." Baili Tang said.
Then, both of them sped up.
Dozens of rounds have passed, but no winner has been decided!
Dozens of rounds passed, but the winner was still unknown!
Baili Tang stopped until Chao Hong became impatient and said, "You lose."
Sure enough, Chao Hong's white chess pieces were blocked by Baili Tang's black chess pieces.
"One more plate!" The uncle-in-law was not convinced.
