Chapter 7
After Li Ke left, the Taoist sat back on the stone bench in the pavilion and looked down at the chessboard.

Originally, the Taoist priest was attracted by the scribe's phantom chess, and filled all his chess pieces in the corners. After receiving Li Ke's suggestion, when he looked at the chessboard again, sure enough, as Li Ke said, the white pieces surrounded Has been pierced by Heizi, from Tianyuan to Baizi, Baizi has been surrounded by Heizi, the momentum of slaying the dragon is only a few seconds, Baizi is really defeated.

"This young man does not deceive me. Brother Cen is about to slay the dragon. The outcome of this game of chess is indeed determined. Brother Cen's chess strength, I admire." The Taoist shook his head lightly and sighed.

The scribe said with a smile: "Small skills are hard to enter the elegant hall, and they are not comparable to Brother Yuan Dao's skill of learning from the wind and breaking the stars."

The Taoist smiled wryly after hearing what the scribe said: "Although Go is small, it hides the universe. I think Yuan Tiangang is good at reading divination and face-to-face, and can know the unknown, but in this way of black and white, I can't even compare with a young man."

Nearly half a hundred Taoist priests this year are none other than Yuan Tiangang, the direct disciple of Taoist Priest Qiyun, the master of the Xuandu Temple, and the middle-aged scholar who played chess with Yuan Tiangang is named Cen Wenwen, who is an official worshiper of Jingzhou Biejia and Xingtai Kaogong doctor. He is Yuan Tiangang's friend, and this time he was invited by Yuan Tiangang to live in Xuandu Guan for a while.

For Li Ke who suddenly appeared, Cen Wenwen seemed quite interested.

Cen Wenwen tapped the chessboard lightly with his index finger, and said to Yuan Tiangang: "This boy is young, but his chess skills and eyesight are not weak, and he is agile in writing and thinking, and his manners are generous. Li, Yang, Wei, and Du, I don't know where Guanzhong The elite of the family."

Cen Wenwen saw that Li Ke was well-dressed and well-behaved. He was not a young man educated by ordinary people. He only regarded it as a family background, so he guessed that Li Ke was a member of the Guanlong clan.

Yuan Tiangang looked at Cen Wenwen's appearance, chuckled and said: "This young man is not a child of an ordinary family, he has a very strong background."

Listening to Yuan Tiangang's meaning, Cen Wenwen obviously guessed Li Ke's identity, Cen Wenwen asked curiously: "Brother Daoist Yuan, does he know who this boy is?"

Yuan Tiangang nodded and replied, "Brother Cen, do you still remember the Xuanwumen assassination case five days ago?"

Cen Wenwen had some misunderstandings about Li Ke's identity at first, but now he heard what Yuan Tiangang said, and he immediately understood.

Cen Wenwen is Jingzhou's other driver, this time he went to Beijing with the order of Jingzhou Governor Li Xiaogong, and he is also a member of the officialdom, the assassination case in the palace shocked the government and the public, how could he not know.

Cen Wenwen frowned slightly, and spit out six words: "Li Ke, Prince of Hanzhong County?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "Six days ago, the king of Hanzhong County was assassinated in the palace, and he was in a coma for several days. The crown prince's concubine Yang once asked for a wish in the temple, and today she has fulfilled her wish. The king of Hanzhong County has the royal blood of the Sui and Tang dynasties. After Li and Yang's two clans, how can they be so distinguished by the children of ordinary families?"

Li Ke's grandfather was Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and his maternal grandfather was Yang Guang, the late emperor of the Sui Dynasty.But Cen Wenwen felt a little strange when he heard Yuan Tiangang's words.

Cen Wenwen asked: "In the past, when the army started from Taiyuan, when it first occupied Guanzhong, you were invited to meet several princes. You just shied away and didn't say a word. How can you praise the King of Hanzhong today?"

Yuan Tiangang said with a smile: "If I told the truth back then, would I still be able to play chess with Brother Cen here today? I'm afraid the body and head should have been separated by now."

Cen Wenwen was puzzled and said: "Now the crown prince is in his prime, and he is about to ascend the throne. The ages of the several princes are not much different, and the battle for the reserve position is even more serious than it was back then. Isn't Daoist Yuan worried about getting involved?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "You and I have been close friends for more than ten years. We have never been against each other. Today's events are known to heaven and earth. You know what I know. If it doesn't fall into the ears of others, why worry about it. And what I said to you Most of it should be on him."

Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Cen Wenwen's eyes showed a gleam of light, and his expression was also righteous.

"Could it be that the mutation you mentioned the day before yesterday refers to the Hanzhong County King?" Cen Wenwen asked casually.

Yuan Tiangang nodded, and said with a straight face: "Six days ago, on the night when the King of Hanzhong was assassinated and fell into a coma, Ziwei Xing did not move, but Taiwei Xing changed hands overnight. Can't you see it?"

Taiwei star and Ziwei star are both one of the three walls, Ziwei star is in charge of the emperor's life, while Taiwei star is in charge of the crown prince. The so-called change of master in Taiwei is naturally a harbinger of the change of crown prince.

Although Cen Wenwen is not good at this, but he has known Yuan Tiangang for many years, and he naturally knows a thing or two after being influenced by his ears and eyes.

Cen Wenwen asked: "This is a major event that concerns the world, may you be sure?"

"Nine times out of ten, otherwise Master wouldn't have gone into the mountains overnight to avoid him. You know, people who are out of shape will break their way if they are worshiped by Taiwei Xing." Yuan Tiangang replied decisively.

Cen Wenwen looked at Yuan Tiangang's determined look, and suddenly remembered something, so he asked: "13 years ago, you met me for a meeting, and bluntly said that my bones are not weighed. Although my career can go smoothly, it is difficult to live long. But today Goodbye, you also said that I have been favored by the nobleman, my fate has changed, and I may have the joy of having children and grandchildren around my knees, is it because of this?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "That's right, two months ago when the Xuanwu Sect mutinied, there was no such scene in the death of the crown prince, but it happened just after the assassination of the king of Hanzhong County. Such a mystery is by no means a coincidence."

As Cen Wenwen listened, the look on his face became more serious, and he asked, "Except for you, the Taishi Bureau may have noticed the abnormal change in the sky."

Yuan Tiangang stood up, stroked his short beard lightly, and said to himself: "Recently, it has been a troubled time, and the situation in the court has changed suddenly, the throne has changed, such an obscure celestial image, except for Master and me, there is no other in the world. The three of them can figure it out, so how can those people in the Taishi Bureau see it. If you and I are close friends, and your lifespan is closely related, I will never reveal half a word."

Inside, Yuan Tiangang and Cen Wenwen were still talking about Li Ke's assassination a few days ago, while outside, Li Ke had already boarded the carriage with Concubine Yang and returned to the palace.

"Ma'am, it's a pity that you didn't see it with your own eyes just now. Just now Xiaolang was watching Renqiqi in the audience, and the layout that the Taoist priest hadn't seen for a long time was actually explained by Xiaolang. It's really amazing." Bottle Although my son doesn't know how to play Go, but just now Li Ke was showing off his prestige in the audience, and he was very happy in his heart. He told Concubine Yang as soon as he got on the carriage.

Li Ke was young, Concubine Yang didn't know that he was good at Go, but after hearing Ping'er's words, she still took Li Ke to her side and asked softly: "Oh? When did Hutou learn the skill of Go? I don't know."

Li Ke sat on the side next to Concubine Yang, scratched his head and replied: "I just studied with a few gentlemen in the Hongwen Museum for a period of time, so it can be called a word. I'm just a bystander. Chess, I'm afraid it's not as good as that Taoist leader."

Concubine Yang looked down at Li Ke when she heard this, and said, "Mother also knows some chess skills. If you have time in the future, you can play two games with your mother."

"Okay, then Ke'er needs to learn from Auntie." Li Ke said, slowly stood up, and imitated those scholars and sang promises to Concubine Yang.

Li Ke deliberately played tricks, because he was worried that Concubine Yang would be in a dull mood when she came out of the Taoist hall, so he specially made a joke to make Concubine Yang smile.

Seeing Aiko like this, Concubine Yang also laughed: "Looking at you like this, don't you want to learn from those scholars and take the exam for Jinshi? You should sit down quickly, lest the road is bumpy and you will fall again."

Concubine Yang sat down beside Li Ke while talking.

Sure enough, Concubine Yang's worries were not entirely unreasonable. Li Ke had just sat down when the carriage stopped suddenly. If Li Ke was standing, he might really have to fall.

"What's going on outside?" Concubine Yang asked when she saw the carriage stopped.

The driver outside the car replied: "Your Majesty, the Jinwu Guards are ordered to patrol the streets. Your Majesty will wait a moment. The villain has already informed you of your identity and ordered her to let you go."

This carriage is the carriage of the Eastern Palace, and the Jinwu Guards patrolled, so naturally they dare not find Li Ke.

Li Ke had nothing to do, so he was not in a hurry, he lifted the curtain of the car leisurely, and looked out of the car.I saw that the Zhuque Street was already full of soldiers of the Jinwu Guard, and they were very strict in checking who came and went.

Li Ke knew that it must be because Li Shimin's ascension to the throne was imminent, and the remnants of the princelings would cause chaos, and the whole city was on alert.

Li Ke looked at the scene outside the carriage, and sighed slowly in his heart: "The sky of the Tang Dynasty is finally about to change."
