Liu Mingzhi was still secretly happy that the emperor didn't mention that the watermelon came from him. Hearing the emperor's words, he felt his whole body stiffen.
Looking at Li Zheng's cheerful expression, Liu Mingzhi felt chills all over his body. He always felt that Li Zheng's expression was a smile hiding a knife.
After taking a sneak peek, Liu Mingzhi, the emperor and his own royal study room were left alone, feeling a bit at a loss.
No wonder the emperor wanted to retreat!
It turned out to be to talk to myself about the artillery.
However, the artillery matter has always been carried out secretly. Even the old man and Qi Yun did not know about it. Han Zhong and Liu Song only knew that he asked An Gouer to do something but did not know what it was.
One is Liu Song, a scholar who grew up with him, and the other is Han Zhong, who is loyal to him. They don't know how the emperor knows.
Is the spy in the emperor's hands really so terrifying?
Li Zheng looked at Liu Mingzhi who was deep in thought in surprise: "Mingzhi?"
"My son is here!"
"I heard that you are a good shooter, how about letting me see how you can do it?"
"My son, I don't quite understand what my father means!"
Li Zheng narrowed his eyes and stared at Liu Mingzhi: "Who in the civil and military dynasties doesn't know that your cannon is amazingly powerful. Are you trying to hide it from me?"
As soon as Li Zheng finished speaking, Liu Mingzhi's heart skipped a beat. Cannon, it was really about the cannon.
Not only did the emperor know about it, but all the civil and military officials in the dynasty also knew about it. What exactly was the mistake?
Could it be that Jiang He said that the sound of the artillery attracted the attention of the local government and was discovered by the imperial spies?
"How did my father know about it? My son has never told anyone since he studied the cannon. Now that my father knows that my son has nothing to say, he is willing to tell everything!"
"Okay, Liu Mingzhi is indeed Liu Mingzhi, the little chess master of the Hanlin Academy, and the little chess god really did not lie. I didn't expect that Dalong, the most powerful person in chess, is so incompetent. He really can't tell the difference between a person and his appearance!"
Liu Mingzhi felt that his body was weak and he was unable to sit down in the chair. It turned out that the emperor was talking about chess! He said how could the emperor know about his private casting of cannons? It turned out that he had been overthinking it all along.
In other words, if you don’t do bad things and don’t worry about ghosts knocking on your door, you still have ghosts in your heart.
"My chess skills are just not up to par. If my father wants to give me some advice, he won't hide his secrets!"
Li Zheng looked around and found that no one dared to peek. He bent down and took out an exquisite box from under the table and opened it gently. With a clatter, the chess pieces rolled onto the dragon table.
"Why are you still hanging around? Come here and help clean up the memorial above. I finally found some time to play two games of chess in my busy schedule. If you delay any longer, you won't have time!"
"Yes, I will come right away!"
Li Zheng placed the chess pieces on the chessboard and said softly: "That day, I suddenly wanted to go to the Hanlin Academy to see if this group of newly promoted scholars had any talents, and I found that your junior brother Hu Jun and your
My brother-in-law, Qi Liang, was playing a brand new chess game in his spare time! He couldn't help but stop and watch it for a while, but he didn't expect that the small chess game actually contained the art of war!"
"Father, the Holy Ming, saw the mystery of chess in just one move!"
"After asking later, I found out that chess was invented by you, the Grand Marquis. I learned the rules of chess from them. The more I played, the more itchy my hands became. I became more and more fond of playing cannon, which is a way to win a battle thousands of miles away.
!But your junior brother told me that the best person in the cannon game is you, the creator of chess, Liu Mingzhi!"
Liu Mingzhi scratched his head in confusion. Li Zheng clearly didn't mean what he said, but why couldn't he help thinking wrongly?
"Father, I don't like to play with cannons, but I still prefer to use horses!"
Li Zheng looked at Young Master Liu in confusion: "Isn't it possible? Hu Jun and Qi Liang both said that you are good at cannon. You said that you don't know how to cannon. Who is fooling me?"
"Well, it's my fault. I used to like using cannons, but now that I'm married, I prefer using horses. Junior brother and wise brother Qi Liang just don't know!"
"Why do you like using horses when you get married? Do you want to ride a horse galloping?"
"Well, that's right! Father, please go first!"
Li Zheng looked at the chess game and stared at Liu Mingzhi closely: "You can't let go. I don't like people fooling me. It's normal to lose and win in chess. If you win, you must win with dignity, and if you lose, you must lose with integrity.
If you cheat and I find out, don’t blame me for not caring about my father-in-law and giving you little shoes!"
"Since my father has said this, I will not be polite to you. We will play a chess game against a father and his son!"
"Okay, I feel comfortable hearing this. There is no father and son in the chess game. A game is a game, and you must follow the rules! Support me!"
"Departure!"
"Gun the gun!"
"Vaulting Horse"
Li Zheng's brows furrowed as the two of them struck dozens of blows at each other.
Staring at Young Master Liu's horse, he was a little stunned: "You will lose if you don't give up the cart? What is this move called?"
"Fuck!"
Li Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Young Master Liu in displeasure: "Just play chess, no dirty words!"
"My son, I didn't say any dirty words!"
"What the hell? Isn't it a dirty word?"
"Father, this move is called a fucking horse, also known as a general pulling a cart!"
Li Zheng was silent for a moment and stared at the chess pieces on the chessboard again to think about it. In the end, he had to give up using a good rook and choose the position of moving the commander.
"Yan'er didn't give you a bad temper, did she? This child has been spoiled by me since she was a child. If there is anything rude about her, you have to teach her patiently. Although she is a little short-tempered, she is very kind at heart. With Yan'er and
Qi Yunjian, I hope you will not favor one thing over another."
"Father, don't worry. Ever since the princess married into the son's family, she has been extremely virtuous and got along well with Yun'er. She has never had any conflicts. She has always been the eldest sister and the younger one. There is absolutely nothing that father is worried about.
This is my blessing!"
"Teach me how to use it!"
"Huh? What do you mean, father?"
"The harem and the backyard are no different. Teach me how to deal with conflicts between women. I am very troubled by the harem. Every day I am overwhelmed by the memorials from Dalong and various state capitals, and I am also annoyed by the concubines.
I am so upset, how did you let Qi Yunyan'er and those concubines live in such harmony?"
"I don't have any good ideas here. I don't even interfere with their affairs. They get along well with each other and have never had any conflicts!"
"So simple?"
"Erchen thought for a moment whether it could be because there are too many mothers and concubines?"
Li Zheng looked at Liu Mingzhi in astonishment: "Only thirty-six concubines are too many? None of the nobles below, Zhaoyi and Shuren, have been granted the title!"
"It's not much. As the emperor, my father doesn't have much at all. My sons and ministers don't know what to do. It mainly depends on how my father handles it!"
"Forget it, forget it, I take it for granted. Although the backyard of the harem is not different, it is very different. Just concentrate on playing chess!"
"Two-gun general!"
Li Zheng watched in astonishment as the checked chess piece helplessly dropped his chess piece.
"You also said that you are not good at cannon shooting, but it turns out that you can be a general with two cannons. Forget about the harem, teach me how to play cannon!"
