Chapter 83: Chess is fun only when you meet a worthy opponent
The two sides began to fight for territory, play chess, and compete with each other in wits and courage on a small chessboard. It was so exciting!
Bo Muxi gradually got involved and began to use the risky tactic of encircling the air from six directions, launching a multi-pronged encirclement and counterattack.
Qiuyue, Zhe Ni, Chu An and Lin En who were watching were also experts in the game. They were amazed at the two players' exquisite chess tactics.
Bo Muxi's white pieces began to expand in an orderly manner from defense, and restricted the black pieces to a certain formation, which was enough to reflect Bo Muxi's characteristic of pursuing ultimate efficiency.
"My beloved, I am not worried because General Shen is guarding the border. I have been troubled by the affairs of the royal family and the princes recently. It is very difficult to endure and it makes me unable to sleep or eat well."
Perhaps he was having too much fun, Bo Muxi actually started talking about state affairs with Shen Zhiyao.
Shen Zhiyao remained calm when she heard this, and she didn't even raise her head. She held the black piece in her hand and stared at the chessboard with a serious expression.
"Your Majesty, please forgive my incompetence. I can't even understand this chess game now, how can I understand such obscure court affairs?" Shen Zhiyao pretended to be innocent.
After saying that, Shen Zhiyao placed the white piece. After this move, she gradually fell into a disadvantage and her opportunities gradually disappeared.
"It's natural that my beloved concubine doesn't understand. However, I love to talk to you about my troubles. It's okay if you don't understand." Bo Muxi secretly laughed at her cautiousness.
"That's fine, but Your Majesty is so cunning. I'm already tired of dealing with your offensive, and you still say some gossip to distract me. I would be most angry if I lost because of this!" Shen Zhiyao pretended to scold.
Shen Zhiyao actually didn't want to discuss state affairs with Bo Muxi openly, although Bo Muxi had hinted to her explicitly and implicitly that it was okay to discuss state affairs.
But this is a double-edged sword. If you don't wield it properly, it is very likely that the emperor will feel resentful of you, which is really not worth the loss.
"My beloved concubine is really good at playing tricks. You can't be defeated by me in the first place, so what does it matter what you said to me? You..."
Bo Muxi picked up a black piece and while teasing her, he calmly placed another piece.
As soon as the piece fell, Shen Zhiyao angrily put the white piece back into the jar.
Why bother? Bo Muxi has already won the first game perfectly!
"Your Majesty, I admit defeat." Although Shen Zhiyao's actions showed her unwillingness, her tone was quite calm.
Bo Muxi looked at her and felt even more satisfied. She really had quite a bit of character!
"I haven't had enough fun yet, my beloved, please play another game with me!" Bo Muxi coaxed her while personally packing up the chess pieces.
Lin En hurried forward to help collect the chess pieces, and secretly sighed that the Emperor was in a really good mood today. If he were playing chess with others in the past, he would have stopped after just one game at most, let alone collecting the chess pieces himself!
Shen Zhiyao found him funny and nodded with a smile, agreeing happily.
However, in this game, Shen Zhiyao added some other thoughts to it.
Bo Muxi had just lamented that the affairs of the princes and vassal kings were difficult to deal with. Although Shen Zhiyao was not in a position to speak directly, she wanted to put some thought into the chess game and let Bo Muxi figure it out himself.
If he can't figure it out, then forget it. But if he does, it will be Bo Muxi's own credit, and Shen Zhiyao will naturally benefit from it.
In her previous life, Shen Zhiyao played the role of Wei Zifu, the "grassroots queen" in "The Emperor Wu of Han".
Shen Zhiyao saw through the political structure of the Dazhao Kingdom early on and felt that the current situation was very suitable for learning from the "Enfeoffment Order" fully implemented by Emperor Wu of Han.
The core of this policy is that after the death of the old prince, his fiefdom will be divided among all his sons, rather than letting the crown prince inherit it alone, so that the vassal states will be divided into smaller and smaller parts.
Over time, the fiefdoms ceased to exist, and this is how Emperor Wu of Han successfully implemented the "county system."
Shen Zhiyao had wanted to offer a strategy for a long time, but she had many concerns, so during this month, whenever she studied the chess game, she would consciously or unconsciously incorporate it into her thinking.
Opportunities always come to those who are prepared, so opportunities will come as soon as they are offered!
So, from now on, winning or losing is no longer important.
What is important is how to make Bo Muxi understand it himself through the layout of the moves.
"My dear, I won't let you win this round. You have to work harder!" Bo Muxi said with a smile, holding the black pieces.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to give in to me. Instead, you should let me lose happily. This will be the best experience for me!" Shen Zhiyao smiled and said generously.
Hearing this, Bo Muxi smiled knowingly. He just liked Shen Zhiyao's generous and open-minded personality, who could afford to lose.
This time, Shen Zhiyao, playing with white pieces, responded calmly. Bo Muxi didn't know at this time that the next two games would bring him subversive cognition and indelible memories!
Because of this, Shen Zhiyao left a deep impression in Bo Muxi's heart!
Shortly after the game started, the two sides started to exchange blows in the layout phase.
Shen Zhiyao repeatedly contributed rare and unique moves, and Bo Muxi was forced to passively defend under her attacks, marveling at them.
Gradually, Bo Muxi seemed to be inspired by Shen Zhiyao's actions and came up with a series of optimal solutions.
As the situation became increasingly intense, the expressions of the onlookers gradually became solemn.
The two sides exchanged dozens of moves, and Shen Zhiyao gradually gained the upper hand.
Lin En was secretly shocked. He had seen the emperor play chess many times, but this kind of situation had never happened before.
In fact, Shen Zhiyao was the most nervous person here.
Her purpose was not to win or lose. She found that the emperor seemed to be getting more and more "enlightened" under her guidance and there was a great possibility that he would attain enlightenment.
Shen Zhiyao went a step further and deliberately pushed the situation into the most complex and chaotic state, just like the political situation in the court.
Bo Muxi became more and more devoted to the performance, and beads of sweat were already dripping from his forehead, but he was unaware of it and was just enjoying it as if he was crazy about it.
Shen Zhiyao gradually began to reveal her final trump card, which was also her most powerful killer move that she had been thinking about for a long time.
Bo Muxi really lived up to expectations. Even in such a passive and complicated situation, he was still able to put the pieces in the best position.
When the two sides had been fighting for nearly 100 moves, Bo Muxi began to turn from defense to offense and showed his killing intent repeatedly.
Seeing that Shen Zhiyao's territory was gradually shrinking, his territories were also ruthlessly crushed.
In the end, the white situation gradually collapsed, and Shen Zhiyao lost to Bo Muxi again regretfully.
"My dear, I never thought that your talent in chess is so high!" Bo Muxi exclaimed.
"Your Majesty is too kind to me. I was only relying on my own bravery. It is only right that I lose to Your Majesty." Shen Zhiyao said frankly.
In fact, when she saw that the game was over and Bo Muxi didn't seem to have figured out anything, she felt disappointed. What she wanted was not just the emperor's praise!
Although disappointed, Shen Zhiyao was not discouraged. Looking at Bo Muxi's hopeful eyes, it seemed that he was still looking forward to the third game.
Shen Zhiyao still needs to stay calm and prepare for the third game calmly. As long as there is a chance, she wants to seize it and get more benefits for herself!
