imperial psychologist

Chapter 375
"How many sons will you give up this time?" Emperor Jianxi seemed to be talking to himself.

"Don't let it go." Chen Yicong said softly.

Emperor Jianxi looked at the young man in front of him and smiled softly.Chen Yicong had already grasped a chess piece at this time, Emperor Jianxi looked at the young man's palm and said softly, "Double."

The boy let go of his hand, and the chess pieces landed on the chessboard, making a low and crisp sound.

"It's seven sons, Grandpa Huang, you guessed wrong." Chen Yicong said with a slight smile, "This time I'm still the black one."

Emperor Jianxi slightly raised his hand, motioning for Chen Yicong to continue.

The young man picked up chess with two fingers, Zhan Xiaomu started the game.

Nineteen horizontal and vertical engraved lines, the confrontation and encirclement between black and white.

Huang Chongde put a new cup of tea on the left hand side of the two, but the two never clinked glasses from the beginning to the end.

Time passed slowly, Huang Chongde looked at the hot tea in the hands of his grandfather and grandson, and when the steaming tea gradually cooled down, he stepped forward to replace the old tea and replaced it with a new one.

After going back and forth dozens of times like this, Huang Chongde did not neglect in the slightest.

Emperor Jianxi raised his eyes and glanced at the young man.

Chen Yicong's eyes were bright, with an undisguised fighting spirit. At this moment, he had already settled down, and was waiting for Emperor Jianxi to take over.

And on the chessboard, Heizi was already on the verge of victory.

Sensing Emperor Jianxi's gaze, Chen Yicong also looked up at Grandpa Huang.

"Acceptance." The young man said softly.

Emperor Jianxi lowered his eyes slightly, with a slight smile on his face, "Are you waiting for my son to admit defeat?"

Chen Yicong didn't answer—it seemed that he didn't need to answer, the pieces on the chessboard had already given his answer.

"Your chess skills have indeed improved," Emperor Jianxi said flatly, "Who has been teaching you recently?"

"It used to be Hu Yishu, Master Hu." Chen Yicong replied in a low voice, "But in the past few months, there has only been Master Zhang. He told my son that the way to play chess is not just a simple chess skill, there are also many reasons in it."

"No wonder." Emperor Jianxi breathed out slowly, and he stared at the chessboard, "You start the game with one or three small sticks, then five draws, seven tops, eleven pushes...you provoke a big avalanche as soon as you come up.

"I can see your desire to win."

Emperor Jianxi's gaze slowly blurred, and he gently played with the white stone in his hand, "This kind of opening is very Zhang Shouzhong."

Just as Chen Yicong was about to say something, Emperor Jianxi continued, "In the past two years, he seems to be much quieter than before. But I know that he will never be that kind of hermit who hates the world. Even if he is dormant, what he does I just waited silently for the opportunity...

"He does have the air of a gentleman and can be used." Emperor Jianxi said softly.

Chen Yicong frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised by what Emperor Jianxi said.

"Playing chess is indeed as he said, within a square inch, there is a world of its own..."

Having said this, Emperor Jianxi's hand stopped, and he suddenly picked up the white piece and landed it firmly on the northwest corner of the chessboard.

Chen Yicong was taken aback for a moment - Grandpa Huang's move was far beyond his expectation.

"The so-called rigidity is easy to break, but softness lasts forever." Emperor Jianxi's voice was still a bit languid, but every word hit Chen Yicong's heart, "...the courage to go forward is certainly brave, but it can be left behind. The flaws are also innumerable."

Chen Yicong's back straightened up suddenly.

The situation of the sunspots on the chessboard was suddenly extremely urgent. He barely pulled out the tendon in the center and forcibly covered the two wings. However, the white chess had already gained the upper hand, and there was no further retreat at this time.

All of a sudden, there were six or seven places on the chessboard fighting against each other at the same time. Chen Yicong only felt that his left and right sides were stretched, and he didn't have the energy to take care of the overall situation.

After that, it was the simple strangulation of the young man by the elders—Emperor Jianxi changed his previous softness, and his tactics were so ruthless that Chen Yicong could not parry at all.

"...I lost."

Under Emperor Jianxi's turbulent offensive, Chen Yicong raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and surrendered.

He faintly felt that maybe just like his mother, concubine and father could never understand the Emperor Jianxi in his heart, he himself was also ignorant of the other side of the emperor's grandfather.

"Chess players, even though they lose a hundred battles, their heart will never die." Emperor Jianxi's expression didn't change much, "Your masters probably told you about this truth."

"Yes." Chen Yicong nodded.

"But it's not right." Emperor Jianxi said softly, "This is the way of playing chess, the way of being a minister, but not the way of being a king."

Chen Yicong looked up again in surprise—but Emperor Jianxi didn't look at him.

After such a long game, the aged emperor was exhausted.Huang Chongde took some pillows and quilts, and built a hill behind Emperor Jianxi for him to rely on.

"A chess player loses one game, and there will be another game; a minister, even if he is deposed, there is always the possibility of being reused in the future... Whether he advances or retreats, it only depends on his recovery. "

Emperor Jianxi leaned on the cushion, looked past Chen Yicong, and looked at the map of Zhou Jin behind him.

"But if you are a king, if you make small mistakes and big mistakes, God will not give you a chance to lose every battle." Emperor Jianxi said softly, "So from the beginning, you have to rush to win.

"Civil servants and military generals like to say those righteous things, and they will sacrifice their lives for righteousness at every turn, and do what they know is impossible... Don't be distracted by this kind of spirit."

"My son doesn't understand." Chen Yicong said softly, "Isn't it wrong to know what to do? If you see that the future is cloudy, will you stop moving forward?"

Emperor Jianxi laughed, "Of course we must move forward!"

He looked at Chen Yicong, "But you have to know that you are not going forward to sacrifice your life for righteousness, to prove the truth with your own body...you have to win the end.

"It's not easy to kill yourself and become a benevolent...the hard thing is to win.

"Don't... spend the wrong effort."

This time Chen Yicong did not answer.

He felt that Grandpa Huang's words were a bit strange and seemed reasonable, but he always felt that something was wrong...

Emperor Jianxi looked at the map not far away.

"Chen Yicong, I ask you..." Emperor Jianxi's voice suddenly fluctuated, "When the Jin invaded, if you sat in my place, would you seek war or peace?"

Huang Chongde on the side immediately looked at Emperor Jianxi's face.

There seemed to be a thousand words in Emperor Jianxi's eyes that he couldn't say, but he just looked at the prince eagerly.

Chen Yicong frowned, but he didn't think about it for a long time—even though what Emperor Jianxi said just now made him feel a little confused about what answer the emperor wanted to hear, but he already had an answer to this question in his heart.

"Of course it's a war." The son's voice cooled down slightly, "I must not let a single cent of the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in my Great Zhou fall into the hands of the golden man."

"Good boy, good boy..."

The corners of Emperor Jianxi's mouth rose slightly, and he seemed to want to say something more, but he coughed violently because of his excitement.

Huang Chongde hurried forward to caress Emperor Jianxi's back.

Emperor Jianxi gently pushed Huang Chongde's hand away, "You all go down, leave Chen Yicong here alone, I... I want to stay alone with my grandson for a while."
