"Time is easy to get, so I will go back and go back for four years. I haven't seen it for three years. I still sighed that the distance is far away, and even if I pass it, I can't think of it! Even though I write and go back and forth, it's not enough to resolve the hard work."

[Note 1: The Book of Songs "Dongshan" says that soldiers have not seen each other for three years and have longed for each other.]

Above the official road of Jizhou, a distinctive and luxurious guard of honor is slowly escorting a noble man wearing mink fur, elegant and proud, walking south.

That noble man is not someone else, but he was one of His Majesty's "Four Friends of the East Palace" back then. He was in charge of the throne and the commander-in-chief, General Zhenwei, Marquis, Wu Jizhong.

At this moment, he was riding a horse, looking proudly at the handwritten letter from His Majesty to him.

"General Wu, Governor Wu."

After Wu Zhima, a flattering official smiled:

"Your Majesty misses the general, so he specially sent the guards to the north to welcome the general into the capital. This kind of affection and great grace is really enviable."

"That's natural driving!"

Wu Zhi smiled contemptuously, whipped the horse and galloped forward. The guard guard behind him immediately accelerated the speed.

Speaking of Wu Zhi, his contribution is indeed enough to make him so arrogant.

Wu Zhi made great contributions to his current majesty being able to enter the Eastern Palace back then.

When Emperor Taizu Wu was about to go to war, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi sent each other on the side of the road. Prince Cao Zhi praised his merits on the side of the road and spoke in a proper manner to inspire the three armies. Because of his outstanding literary talent, he was also happy to see him.

Cao Pi was disappointed and had no choice but to do anything. At this time, Wu Zhi whispered to Cao Pi and said only one sentence: "The king should do it, but he can shed tears."

When Taizu was about to set off, Cao Pi cried and bowed to the horse according to the plan. When Taizu saw this, he was immediately moved and the soldiers on both sides were all disgusted. So everyone said that Gongzi Zhi's words were gorgeous, but their sincerity was not as good as Gongzi Cao Pi.

Not only that, Yang Xiu was twenty-five years old at that time, because of his famous princes and talent, he was valued by Taizu. Ding Yi's brothers also wanted to take Prince Cao Zhi as his heir. Now Your Majesty is deeply worried about this and has no choice but to use his car to abolish the skull and let Wu Zhilai, who was demoted to Chaoge's eldest son, plan for himself in the mansion of the General General of Wushi.

Yang Xiu knew about this matter and reported it to Emperor Wu. Since it was a rebellion of Emperor Wu, his Majesty is afraid and worried about it now. Wu Zhi just smiled and said, "What's the problem? Tomorrow, I will use silk to get it in the car to deceive Yang Xiu. Xiu will definitely repeat it to the king. At that time, if there is only white silk in the car and no heavy, then he will suffer this crime."

Sure enough, after this incident, Taizu suspected that Yang Xiu had repeatedly slandered him and no longer believed in Yang Xiu. He also became suspicious of him, which also affected Cao Zhi's status.

It can be said that Wu Zhi played a crucial role in his Majesty being able to obtain the position of crown prince today.

Wu Zhi and his party were full of energy and arrived in Luoyang within five days.

As soon as Wu Zhi entered the imperial city, he saw His Majesty wearing a regular dress. Although Wu Zhi was arrogant, he never dared to lose his manners in front of Cao Pi. He immediately crawled on the ground and bowed to Cao Pi.

"Your Majesty, I don't know that your Majesty is coming in person, and I hope your Majesty will forgive you."

"Ji Chongduo Li, hahaha."

Cao Pi smiled heartily, changing his past sinisterness and majesty, and he directly held Wu Zhi's hand and headed towards the side palace:

"Ji Chong, I've been looking forward to you. We brothers have not been together for many years. I have calculated the day this time and specially asked Wen Lie to come back from Yangzhou in advance. The palace has prepared a banquet. Zhongda and Changwen are here too. Today, let's not go home without getting drunk!"

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness." Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Why are Zidan and Yancai [Zhu Shuo], they are not here? Is there anything wrong with Wen Lie in Yangzhou?"

"Ji Chong is worried too much." Cao Pi smiled and said, "I have called Bo Ren to supervise the Yangzhou side and there will be no problem. As for Zidan, I sent him to deal with the affairs of the Western Regions a few days ago. Yan Cai was responsible for the heavy responsibility of the palace. If our monarch and ministers are drunk, then there will be a real trouble."

"Your Majesty is wise, I am worried about it."

Wu Zhi smiled. He understood that His Majesty was thinking about him and Cao Zhen and Zhu Shuo. Although he was loyal to His Majesty, he was not harmonious with each other and did not like each other. Therefore, for unnecessary trouble, His Majesty did not let Zhu Shuo attend the banquet together.

"Ji Chong, come to the seat quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Zhi bowed deeply to Cao Pi and went to the table.

Cao Xiu was still the same as usual, wearing a purple robe. He has always been good at observing words and expressions and has a good relationship with Wu Zhi, so he first said:

"Come on, everyone hasn't seen each other for many years. Let's treat His Majesty with a cup together and also welcome Ji Chong!"

Chen Qun and Sima Yi heard this and stood up to serve the cup:

"I, I wish the Great Wei Tianji forever and His Majesty a long life!"

"Hahahaha, OK!"

Cao Pi was in a good mood and drank a cup with everyone. Cao Pi drank several cups in a row, and suddenly had an idea, and he smiled:

"Everyone, do you still remember the chess I played in the East Palace back then?"

Cao Xiu smiled and said:

"Of course I remember, I still remember that Your Majesty is superb in chess skills, and no one else can compare with me."

"How about getting together with all the ministers today? How about doing this old fun again?"

Cao Pi was very interested.

"Dare not obeying."

Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Wu Zhi and Cao Xiu answered together.

"Come, please give me the queen."

"No" a waiter was ordered and went to the harem to invite the queen.

"Everyone, after I have made a new name, I have not yet met you."

"Your Majesty, is this not incompatible with the etiquette..."

Cao Xiu asked cautiously and weakly. Chen Qun also looked at the emperor in confusion. Sima Yi only cared about drinking and food, and seemed to care.

"You are all my relatives and friends, how can you not meet my sister-in-law at first?"

Cao Pi laughed loudly.

Soon, the eunuch had already taken Cao Pi's favorite pair of glass bullet chess.

"Please look, everyone, this is a pair of chess that I have sought to carefully polish the glass pieces and carefully develop."

Cao Pi was quite content with playing with the glass chess in his hand.

“It’s really exquisite.”

Seeing this chess game, even Wu Zhi, who was extravagant, was a little amazed.

Cao Pi smiled with satisfaction:

"In this game, Jingshan's wonderful couplet is raised, with a strong belly and a high abdomen, a weak root, a flat like a stubborn stick, and a smooth like a soft barbarian."

Cao Pi's words were so clear that the four of them were even more amazed.

Wu Zhi laughed and praised:

"Your Majesty's chess fu is so exquisite."

Cao Pi knew that Wu Zhi was flattering himself, but he was still very happy:

"Come on, the old rules, Ji Chong will play against me first!"

"I obey the order."

Wu Zhi bowed and answered the gift and stood up to make a plan.

I saw that this chessboard was made of exquisite craftsmanship of gorgeous jade materials. The center of the square jade chessboard was raised high, and the surroundings were flat like sharpening, reflecting the light. As for the chess pieces used, the general flag was made of wood such as "the northern stem of the black wood, the western branches of the plain tree." However, Cao Pi's chess piece was made of rare glaze pieces, which made several people admire it.

Soon, Wu Zhi had already put up the chess pieces. The two of them played, with six black and white, and the chess was comparable.

"Ji Chong takes the first move?"

Cao Pi smiled teasingly.

"Your Majesty is superb. Since you intend to give in, I will be welcome."

Wu Zhi took the lead, took the chess knife, and gently hit Liulizi with a knife. The Liuliu hit Cao Pi's left chess. Only a crisp sound of jade clashing, the chess entered the chess hole.

Wu Zhi succeeded with one blow and was quite content.

Cao Pi laughed and said:

"Okay, okay, it seems that Ji Chong has not been idle for the past few years, and his chess skills have improved a lot."

"Where is it, it's your majesty."

Wu Zhi smiled.

"Report to Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Highness, has arrived outside the hall."

"good!"

Cao Pi had an idea and came up with another idea.

Soon, a noble lady dressed in gorgeous clothes and phoenix hairpin on her head and had a good appearance came to the hall. This was the queen, Queen Guo. She served a cup of wine and saluted everyone openly:

"I bow to your Majesty and have met you all."

"I, please pay homage to His Highness Qiansheng!"

Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Wu Zhi and Cao Xiu saw that the queen had arrived, and immediately put away her smile and knelt on the table.

"Queen, there is no need to be too polite." Cao Pi smiled and said, "Please borrow the queen's handkerchief for use."

Queen Guo smiled and without saying anything, she took out her handkerchief and handed it to Cao Pi.

I saw that Cao Pi did not use a chess knife, but used Empress Guo’s handkerchief to play chess!

With a light sound, Cao Pi's Liulizi defeated Wu Zhi's two white Liulizi with one against two!

Since the queen was present, although the four of them did not dare to look up, they knew that Cao Pi's skills were extremely brilliant based on their voices.
