Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 266 The aftermath gradually rises

In terms of momentum, most families in Qingzhou and even the north are not as good as the Wang family. However, when Xingtan discusses such a big matter, the top families in Jiangzuo will also send people over. Because the family is so large, the people who come are scattered everywhere, and some are in Linyi, some are in Lu County.

Following King Lu's order to close the city of Lu County, these people from the Jiangzuo clan were unable to enter and exit at will. Many people were turned away and found it difficult to wander around.

At this time, the Wang family's motorcade came in grandly, and everyone would definitely complain. Even if it wouldn't break out, they would definitely want to follow suit.

"I got a rumor from Prince Lu's Mansion," Sun Min laughed. "It was said that Liu Yunyan caused the Wang family to suffer a loss in Linyi, so the Wang family had to go ahead. Since Chen Zhi came with the Wang family, he probably I was recruited by the Wang family to come here to play chess, so I feel regretful because I thought I could see a battle between dragons and tigers to rectify my name in the Chinese chess world."

At this time, a slightly older voice came from the side——

"This Chen Zhi is so capable that the Wang family wants to recruit him? No wonder you keep thinking about him."

The man who spoke looked to be about 50 to [-] years old, with a thin face, a long beard, and a long robe. Sitting in the chair was none other than Kong Lu, the teacher of Cao Qing and Sun Min and a descendant of the Kong family.

This person is not a member of the Confucius family, but he has been studious and talented since he was a child. He eventually rose to prominence and became a leader of his generation. He is now one of the faces of the Confucius family, and it is said that he will be in charge of Xingtan in the future.

Sun Min replied respectfully: "Chen Zhi has quite a reputation for his writings, calligraphy, Buddhism, and even hand-talking."

When he said this, Cao Qing, Xun Zhe and others sitting next to him couldn't help but recall the frustration of being suppressed by Chen Zhi's reputation wherever they went along the way, as well as the person who seemed to be a foil along the way. humiliation.

Looking up, Kong Lu nodded slightly, turned around and asked: "I heard that the master has some connections with this person. I don't know how to evaluate this person?" Next to him sat the monk Mingfa.

After hearing this, the monk showed a faint smile, shook his head and said: "It's not really a connection, it's just a distance contact. This man is a great person, and his writing is good. The poor monk has also seen his calligraphy, and he is already a master of it. He is almost divine, and as for the teachings of Buddhism, he does have some merits, so his reputation has spread, and his reputation is very loud, but what about the person, the poor monk has never come into contact with him."

"It's just a reputation?" Kong Lu is a veteran after all. As soon as Mingfa Monk said this, he savored the taste and knew that this master had probably suffered a loss, but since he was a guest invited by him, , Kong Lu naturally had to cooperate.

So, he cleared his throat and said: "Chen Zhi's age seems to be 23. At this age, it's time to raise your reputation and make a name for yourself. But reputation is changeable, just like the moon in the mirror. Let's not talk about the distant ones. Let's talk about Jiang Yi, who is building momentum. It is not unwise to keep a reputation, but when you encounter a real opponent, you lose one game and lose more than half of your reputation. You should take this as a warning and be down-to-earth in everything. Although the art of playing, chess, calligraphy and painting is wonderful, only the teachings of classics and famous names can It is the foundation. In my opinion, Chen Zhi's many reputations can only be praised by his "Shi Shuo"."

He used facts to educate his disciples, which was very well-intentioned. At the same time, he also gave Ming Dharma monk some face.

Kong Lu saw that there was some conflict between Master Ming and Chen Zhi, so he slightly belittled Chen Zhi and then praised him, because the "Master's Statement" was very highly praised by him. Kong Lu liked Chen Zhi from the bottom of his heart and admired Chen Zhi a lot. , but because of the face of Ming Dharma Monk, I had to balance it in person.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that as soon as he said these words, Mingfa Monk smiled on his face, but his heart became more and more uncomfortable, because what really embarrassed him was the "Master's Talk", and his heart was restless. There is an urge to speak out.

Cao Qing and Sun Min were well aware of these inside stories, but they did not dare to point them out to their faces. Faced with the teacher's teachings, they could only nod and accept the instructions.

Kong Li continued: "When we talk about Jiang Yi, we have to mention Liu Yunyan from the Huns. This person has some skills, so he can make a name for himself. Although he was hunted down by the court, there is not much shouting and scolding in this city. Why is this so? Isn't it because he challenged several chess masters in Lu County a few days ago, defeated everyone in a row with his chess skills, and left a reputation, but if he loses, the accumulated reputation will definitely take a turn for the worse."

Sun Min finally seized the opportunity and changed the topic: "Prince Liu Yunyan of the Huns was suddenly wanted, and King Lu was also involved. Is it related to the war on the northern front?"

They were all at the palace that day and heard the prince's shocking words. Then King Lu came forward. On the surface, everything was as usual, but clues could still be found from some details. After the banquet, news came out that King Lu An order was issued to capture the Hun prince, which was the prelude to sealing the city. After thinking about it for a while with everyone in the congregation, they understood the connection.

When Kong Lu heard this, his expression was solemn and he was silent for a moment before saying: "Don't make random guesses about this matter. It's better to wait for concrete news. Otherwise, no matter how much you say, it will be useless. Let's just focus on the Xingtan Forum."

"Yes."

Several disciples nodded in agreement.

But at the end, Cao Qing asked again: "Mr. Chen has arrived in Lu County, are the invitations going to be sent?" While speaking, he glanced at Ming Fa Monk, who still smiled lightly.Kong Lu nodded and said: "Since the other person is here, let's send it to him. However, Chen Zhi arrived with the Wang family, and he will definitely use the Wang family's path in the future. This invitation is just a matter of etiquette."

With Chen Zhi's qualifications, even if he participated in the Xingtan Forum, he was just a member of the bystanders and could not show anything. However, according to the Zuo family, if he participated in the Wenhui and became the leader, he would be qualified to stand out in the discussion. However, the invitation issued by Kong Lu was still based on Chen Zhi's original personal invitation, which was not very helpful and could not compare with the channels of the Wang family. Therefore, he said this. Of course, this was also to take care of Ming Dharma monk's face and show that he Kong Lu is just a routine.

After saying this, he added another sentence: "Abolish the invitation card prepared for the Hun prince, it is no longer needed."

Cao Qing nodded in agreement and couldn't help but sigh: "The Hun prince has escaped and seems to be in ruins, but his record has been preserved. Regardless of whether he will be caught or not, it will damage the face of our country. After all, in the end, Nobody really beat him."

Xun Zhe also sighed and said, "The Wang family came here this time with many celebrities from the chess world. They obviously came well prepared, but they failed to meet Liu Yunyan. What a pity."

“Who can predict the fate of good fortune and misfortune?”

Suddenly, the smiling monk Mingfa saw the opportunity and spoke. His voice was clear and clear, with a heart-clearing charm: "In your opinion, the Huns left because of foreign crimes and failed to play chess with the famous people of your country. The name has not been corrected, but perhaps it is precisely because of this that the remaining defeats in Middle-earth are saved and will not be more ugly." His tone was very calm, as if he was talking to someone, but the meaning was frowning.

The Huns fled for some reason, and you think you have no chance to regain your position, but you may have avoided further embarrassment. In other words, this monk is not optimistic that any of the famous people in China can defeat Liu Yunyan.

After saying this, not to mention Cao Qing and others, even Kong Lu was a little unhappy. I am worried about your face, but you speak so unpleasantly, and you talk about your country. You know that the monk is also from China. , if you learn some Buddhism, you are no longer you?

The atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Monk Mingfa felt a little relieved when he saw it. Just now Kong Lu seemed to take care of his face, but because he didn't know the inside story, he poked the wound instead, which made the monk feel uncomfortable. But he has studied the Dharma for many years, and he can hold back. Now he speaks, At first glance, it seemed to make the people present unhappy, but in fact it was a way to spread the law and debate.

He wants to debate with others, and he has to show off his rhetoric, all for a purpose, which is to spread the Dharma, expand the influence of Buddhism, arouse the emotions of others, and then use his own point of view to explain what has happened, so as to subtly influence the situation. The teaching of Buddhist thought is the only method that has been proven time and time again.

For several days, he had been looking for opportunities all the time, but there were not many such opportunities.

Kong Lu was a Confucian master who took moderation as his root and would not be easily criticized for his words and deeds. Now, because of the relationship between the royal family’s motorcade and the Hun prince, Mingfa Monk saw an opportunity for a collision of ideas, so he took the opportunity to express Buddhism. logically advanced.

After hearing this, Sun Min shook his head and said with a smile: "The Master's words seem to be biased. There are outstanding people in our country, and there are many capable people. Liu Yunyan just made a surprise attack, making people unaware of the origin. If we really invite heroes from all over, He is absolutely no match."

Monk Mingfa smiled and shook his head and said: "I know what you are thinking, but this kind of hand-to-hand situation tests the spirit, energy and spirit. The older the person is, the more incompetent he is. Liu Yunyan is young and strong. After lying dormant for many years, recuperating and recuperating, this is to imitate the king of Chuzhuang. If you want to make a surprise, how can you not be fully prepared? On the other hand, you are hastily accepting the challenge. Furthermore, if you really go to war and invite famous people, let’s not talk about winning or losing. It's because he alone has such a movement and has already fallen behind. There is a cloud in Buddhism that says..."

His words made everyone frown, but before he could finish speaking, they were interrupted by rapid footsteps——

But three or four of Kong Lu's disciples suddenly opened the door and rushed in.

These people were not as high as Cao Qing and Sun Min in terms of status, but they were also close to Kong Lu. However, Ming Fa Seng, Wei Ou and others were present, and Kong Lu still frowned and scolded: "You are so reckless, how can you behave like this?" ! Du Qian, please explain the matter clearly, and the others should leave first." He called a student's name, and noticed the expressions of these disciples, who were all quite excited, and couldn't help but wonder.

Du Qian, who was named, was a tall and strong man, relatively calm, but he could not hide his excitement. He did not care about anything else, so he said: "The little prince of the Huns was beheaded and was killed! And he lost before he died. If you lose the chess game, both civil and military forces will lose, and you will be worthless!" After saying that, he couldn't help but raise his fist and shake it, looking very relieved.

These young scholars and students already have a passion for it, and they can't stand the rampage of alien races, but they can't do anything about it. Now they hear the news, of course their hearts are agitated and they can't help themselves.

But these words made everyone in the room puzzled.

Sun Min asked: "Boluo, you should be more clear. Liu Yunyan is dead? How did he die? Also, how could he still lose at chess? Didn't this person run away?"
