The Tang Dynasty was a country of Go, and men, women, young and old all liked it very much. It was also praised by practitioners from the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. The two of them played chess with a good name: hand talk.

The art school under the Secretariat of the Tang Dynasty specially set up a doctorate in the internal teaching who was responsible for teaching palace ladies to play chess, which shows that the court also attached great importance to Go.

So today, the ministers and confidants who came with the emperor, including the emperor himself, are all Go masters, uh, except Li Linfu.

Facing the emperor's inquiry, seeing that everyone was looking at him, Gao Mang said humbly: "A little understanding is good."

"Oh?" Li Longji was excited and asked with a finger on the chessboard, "Then tell me, what's the situation?"

Gao Mang understood that this was the first question the emperor gave him, so he looked at the chessboard that was 19 times across the board.

The chessboards of the Tang Dynasty have many specifications, nine, thirteen, and fifteen. Those who dare to play chess on the nineteen chessboards must be masters.

I saw that on the chessboard of red sandalwood, the black piece was fierce in its moves, chasing the big dragon of Baizi attacked fiercely, and the moves remained the back of the opponent's head.

Bai Zi was steadily and steadily, just like a kilogram of pounds and leveraging the force to fight. The one-eyed dragon had already penetrated into the opponent's goal.

The entanglement between the two sides has reached a heightened heat. As long as either side makes a mistake, the whole game will be lost.

Gao Mang watched for a moment and understood his heart and said to the emperor: "Sage, the black man, is the belly but not the eyes."

To be a tummy but not to be a sight?

Li Longji was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "What a wonderful thing!"

Zhang Jiuling and other Go masters also lit up their eyes and smiled and nodded with praise.

It is a saying that is not a sight. This sentence comes from Chapter 12 of the "Mystery of Morality". The original meaning is that saints should not pursue excessive enjoyment and have too many desires. Just maintain normal food and clothing.

Corresponding to the situation on the chessboard, Heizi is the main attacker. He has not many eye counts in the entire chessboard, but he always gathers his power in the middle hinterland and strangles Baizi's big dragon. Isn't it just for "a belly" and not for "eye"?

Gao Mang borrowed this sentence and pointed out the fierce style of chess that Heizi was keen on attacking and killing and fighting.

"Hahahaha, Sanlang, our little fairy master is interesting." After the old man in the black uniform fell down, he laughed heartily.

Li Longji smiled slightly, and Gao Mang saluted respectfully to the old man: "Boy has seen King Ning!"

He had already seen it when he was having dinner. When the emperor saw this old man, he would hold his hands and say "big brother". The one who could be called the big brother by the emperor was naturally Ning Li Xian.

If Emperor Ruizong of Tang established a crown prince, if he followed the rules of establishing a chief, the crown prince should be Li Xian. However, Li Xian did not love the country and the beauty, or if he knew that he could not beat his third brother, he gave up the position of crown prince to Li Longji.

After Li Longji ascended the throne, King Ning became a romantic prince. He never cared about the affairs of the government every day. Apart from the deceased King Qi, he was probably the best at playing.

Ning Wang stretched out one leg and poked it out, leaning lazily on the cushion, looking at Gao Mang with a smile: "It's not about your eyes, if someone else says this, it's just a sarcasm."

Gao Mang smiled and said, "Boy, don't dare."

The ministers such as Zhang Jiuling couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. King Ning's extravagance was famous for his extreme desires. They all advised and even impeached King Ning.

King Ning was open-minded and picked up the purple jade flute beside him and handed it to Gao Mang: "It's not a gift for you when I came in a hurry. I'll give this purple jade flute to you."

Everyone looked at it. Not to mention the value of this flute itself, it is almost a symbol of King Ning's identity. Is this a gift?

Gao Mang looked at the emperor Li Longji. Seeing the emperor nodding slightly, he took the purple jade flute and bowed to thank him: "The elder dare not refuse, thank you, King Ning!"

Opposite King Ning, Wang Jixin, a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe, finally fell a white piece after a long exam.

King Ning stood up straight, and was not in a hurry to deal with it. Instead, he smiled at Gao Mang and asked, "Boy, what about Bai Zi?"

Everyone looked at Gao Mang with smiles in their eyes.

Gao Mang's eyes rolled and said crisply: "Well, I'm going to walk all day long and never leave my baggage."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter, and King Ning was even more happy and applauded.

He walks all day and never leaves the baggage, which also comes from the "True Sutra of Morality". Chapter 26. The original meaning is that a saint travels far away and never leaves the baggage supply, which is extended to mean that a gentleman never leaves his virtue.

Looking at the chessboard again, Bai Ziyi's chess style is conservative and important to the field. Whenever he plays chess, he will definitely set up a small base first. It is like a person traveling far away, pulling a supply cart wherever he goes.

Gao Mang's metaphor is so vivid and the picture is so strong that everyone naturally understands it.

They looked at the awkward smile of Wang Jixin, who was running wild, and they found it even more interesting and laughed louder.

It is amazing that he has such an accurate grasp of the chess game and can cleverly use the "Tao Jing" and is worthy of being a disciple of Sima Master Sima.

Previously, because Gao Mang attacked the Censor, many officials were dissatisfied and thought Gao Mang was too rude. However, after Gao Mang's two exquisite comments, their favorability for Gao Mang was raised again.

The happiest person is naturally the emperor Li Longji. He knew that his intuition was not wrong, and this child was so interesting.

By chance that year, Emperor Li Longji and Zhang talked about a game, and by the way, they took the seven-year-old prodigy Li Mi.

Zhang Shuo, who was the prime minister at the time, pointed to the chessboard and came out the first couplet: square like a chessboard, round like a chess piece, moving like a chess birth, and quiet like a chess death.

Li Mi calmly replied to the second couplet: If the square is to act, if the meaning is to be perfect, if the wisdom is used, if the movement is to radiate talent, if the quiet is to be proud.

Zhang Shuo was amazed, which confirmed Li Mi's reputation as a prodigy.

But in Li Longji's opinion, Li Mi responded well, but he was too serious and lost the innocence that children had in nature.

Gao Mang's two comments today are very interesting and more in line with his appetite, and are not inferior to Li Mi's talent.

Gao Mang bowed to Wang Jixin and said, "I am joking, I hope you won't blame the kingdom master."

Wang Jixin would not care about a child? Besides, Gao Mang was not wrong. He played chess with noble people all year round and paid more attention to mastering the degree. Naturally, he was more determined to be stable.

"Okay, this guy lost," Wang Ning pushed Ping to admit defeat, then pointed at Gao Mang and said excitedly, "Boy, let's have a game."

Gao Mang looked embarrassed: "I think of the good, but I still want to ask the kingdom for advice."

Everyone burst into laughter again, and many people booed at King Ning.

Emperor Li Longji smiled so much that tears came out, and he couldn't help but reach out and rub Gao Mang's head.

Ning Wang was so embarrassed. He was so obedient. You guy said that my chess was too smelly and he didn't want to play with me.

He immediately laughed, stood up happily, and gave up his seat.

Tong Yan Wuji, the boy is right. After all, Wang Jixin is the number one national player in the Tang Dynasty. If Wang Jixin had not given up on him, he would have lost long ago.

Gao Mang smiled at King Ning beside him, but did not rush to sit on it, but said to Emperor Li Longji: "Sage, I want to change the way of playing."

Princess Yuzhen couldn't help rolling her eyes and came again.
