Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Because according to normal logic and thinking, there should be no problems with his secret agents, but this little emperor has a problem with his brain and insists on increasing troops, cultivating farmland, and training troops along the coast...

Is this something a normal person could do?

But with just this flurry of punches, the old master was killed, and the two secret agents he had planned to establish ten years ago were eliminated!

Who the hell can I go to for justice?

If it was because he hadn't thought it through properly, or hadn't hidden his tail well enough and exposed a flaw, he wouldn't have anything to say.

But this unexpected method can really make people laugh...

however.

They would never have thought that a random punch would kill the master... The master was dead, but this punch... was not a random punch.

Now it's time to work hard.

Zhu Di finally digested this sudden news and accepted the fact that "the few cards he could play were gone again."

He immediately gathered his mind.

With a hint of seeking advice, he looked at Monk Daoyan and said, "Master Daoyan, if this continues, we will be completely passive... What do you think, Master Daoyan?"

His expression and voice were filled with deep solemnity.

Monk Daoyan remained silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, as if to put aside his surprise, anger, regret, helplessness, and many other emotions. "Forget it, forget it. What happened happened. The dead are gone. Looking back is the most boring thing."

He might feel regretful for a while, but since Monk Daoyan had been thinking about instigating something like "slaying the dragon" ten years ago, his character must be pretty good, and he quickly adjusted his mindset.

After saying this, with a hint of a meaningful smile on his face, he answered Zhu Di's question: "How do you look at it...how do you look at it!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but frown at the moment, and for a moment he really couldn't understand what Monk Bu Daoyan wanted to express.

I just feel in my heart.

Monk Daoyan's answer sounds...

Ok……

Let me hear what you have to say.

If you listen to a conversation...

Monk Daoyan smiled faintly and said, "I love playing chess, and Your Highness loves playing chess too. Your Highness should naturally know that when playing chess, whether you are the winner or the loser, there will always be a few pieces on the board that are captured, right?"

Obviously, he always treated everything as a game, as a chess game.

Although two people died on his side, Monk Daoyan was obviously not the kind of person who would be entangled over two lives.

Zhu Di also understood that Monk Daoyan treated the two secret agents as abandoned pawns.

But he couldn't help but frown, echoing what Monk Daoyan said, "You come and I go, there are gains and losses. I understand these principles on the chessboard, but..."

At this point, Zhu Di's eyes flickered, and he stopped short of continuing to express his concerns:

"That's the way chess works, there's nothing wrong with that."

"But there's always a give and take, a win and a loss... But as I think about it, it seems... Currently, our pawns are often taken by Yingtian Prefecture, while we never seem to get any of Yingtian Prefecture's pawns, right?"

"Can this be the same?"

Zhu Di felt a little depressed and thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he felt.

It would have been better if Monk Daoyan didn't mention this. Instead, after he mentioned it, he felt a strong sense of frustration that couldn't be shaken off.

On a chess game.

Only others eat their own share, not oneself eat others' share...

What's going on?

However, he also knew that Master Daoyan had been optimistic about him from the beginning and had been planning this matter for him with all his heart and soul. Besides, this accident was not caused by Master Daoyan's mistake, but was purely caused by the young man from Yingtian Prefecture who accidentally messed up the matter.

Zhu Di was not in a position to say these words directly.

It’s not good to complain about Monk Daoyan.

of course.

He hides and does not speak. He hides and does not speak.

How could Monk Daoyan not know what Zhu Di was thinking?

However, Monk Daoyan didn't explain anything immediately. Instead, he extended his hand above the chessboard and gestured, saying, "The previous guess about the first move... Your Highness won. Your Highness plays black first."

Zhu Di was slightly stunned.

Naturally, he hadn't expected that he and Monk Daoyan would be discussing serious matters one second, and the next second Monk Daoyan would be busy playing chess...

I was naturally a little confused for a moment.

Zhu Di was naturally in no mood, frowning and saying, "Master Daoyan... at this moment, I really don't have the heart to do that."

He originally thought that the opportunity to start a rebellion was a sure thing, but it was gone suddenly. As a result, even the two hidden stakes that could help him were gone. With such setbacks one after another, he was very confused.

This was also within the expectations of Monk Daoyan.

But Monk Daoyan still insisted, knocking on the chessboard on the stone table, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly, and said, "There's nothing we can do now, Your Highness, just play your chess."

Zhu Di saw that Monk Daoyan insisted.

And I saw something in his expression that seemed to have a deeper meaning.

He also knew that Master Daoyan liked to make witty remarks and talk about Zen principles, so he didn't say much at the moment. With the intention of relieving his worries and anger, he took a black chess piece from the chess box next to him and placed it on the star position in the upper right corner.

Monk Daoyan smiled with relief, and immediately picked up the white chess pieces from the chess box next to him and started playing them on the chessboard.

The air suddenly became quiet.

The only sound left was the "tap, tap, tap" sound of the chess pieces hitting the board. The two of them exchanged moves several times...
