Rebirth of the Great Power

Chapter 74 Invitation to Battle

Among the many chess players he met while discussing chess in Yangzhou, Mu Yuan still had a deep impression of Lu Zijun.During the game that day, the opponent played the "Golden Well Lane" formula, and Mu Yuan discussed it with Ji Jin afterwards. Indeed, no one had ever played it before. In this era, it can be regarded as a "strange move".Even Ji Jin admits that if he encounters them in a game, he is not sure.

During the game, Mu Yuan also found that he had misjudged Lu Zijun's chess ability before.It seems that in the match between him and Lu Boren, he saved more than one move, and his chess strength can at least compete with Su Yuzhi, Huan Zhanxuan and others.If you don't meet yourself in advance, you may even have the possibility of competing for the leader.

Ji Jin once said that Lu Zijun's teacher was Lin Yufu, the former chess waiter, so it is not too surprising that he appears in this alternate waiting place.Even his participation in Yangzhou Lunping may have been just an experience.

In the initial impression, Lu Zijun had a beautiful appearance, a clear and arrogant personality, and his mouth was a bit unforgiving.When playing against Mu Yuan, he seemed quite humble.This young man who seems to be younger than the weak crown is actually very easy to impress.

The place Sun Maofu arranged for Mu Yuan could be regarded as secluded, but Mu Yuan seemed to have attracted a lot of attention from the moment he entered the door, and now that Lu Zijun sat down in front of him, he was staring at him even more, both openly and secretly.

Mu Yuan smiled faintly: "Young Master Lu, long time no see, don't come here without any problems."

Lu Zijun said directly: "I have been here for more than a month, I thought brother Mu would come sooner."

Mu Yuan smiled politely, but didn't answer.

Lu Zijun said again: "I thought that the leader of Yangzhou Lunping must be Brother Mu."

There was no malice in what he said, just a statement of facts.Mu Yuan responded: "The world is unpredictable." There was actually not much regret in his tone.

"Brother Mu's chess skills, even if you are not the leader, it is not difficult to come here. However," Lu Zijun's voice changed, "You know why they pay so much attention to you?"

This is exactly the doubt in Mu Yuan's heart. It is said that even if there are not many candidates, some people go and some come every year. There shouldn't be such a big reaction, so he said: "I still need to ask for advice..."

Lu Zijun pointed around in vain: "Probably among these people, only Brother Mu was recommended by an important official in the court, and Yan Shangshu also specifically asked Jiang Size to lead the way for you."

Although there are two ways for the alternative chess to be called, winning the championship and recommending them, the only one that can be officially recognized in private competitions is Yangzhou Lunping, which is dominated by Jianghuai and Jianghuai. Most of the merchants in Jianghuai are not very willing to enter the court. Become a game of chess.None of the leaders in recent years have been here, so it is nothing special to notice that Fan Shixuan won the championship and did not want to enter Beijing.Those who are still waiting for the imperial edict are all recommended.

Who has the qualifications for recommendation, in fact, there are no strict rules.Most of the chess orders in the early years were recommended by important officials in the court.Although Qi Daizhao does not participate in the government, he is a close minister of the emperor after all. All the emperors of Daqi are fond of playing games. There are edicts passed on from time to time. The place where the various forces in North Korea and China want to infiltrate.It's just that in the fifth year of the Yuanqing period of the first emperor, there were chess orders involved in party disputes, and the first emperor was furious. After disposing of a group, no important minister dared to blatantly make friends with chess orders.

Since then, most of those who have recommended alternative chess are those who have been selected for the imperial edict, or the courtiers who have retired and left the court.For example, Lu Zijun was recommended by his mentor Lin Yufu.Of course, it doesn't mean that today's Qidaizhao can stand alone. Behind almost every Qidaizhao, there is a side of power, but the relationship has changed from bright to dark.The Son of Heaven is not ignorant of these private affairs, it's just that Yilin masters are rare, and whoever is willing to enter the court does not have some other purpose, as long as there is no trouble, he will turn a blind eye.

Therefore, in these years, no important officials in the court would directly recommend chess for imperial edict, and Mu Yuan was the first one, which naturally aroused the attention of both the court and the outside world.Yan Jidao has always been on his own, and he does not take sides among the various forces in the DPRK and China. People are suspicious.It's just that his recommendation was too magnanimous, without any shyness, on the contrary, it was hard to see through.Could it be that you really appreciate this person's talent?So what exactly is this Mu Yuan's chess ability, it will inevitably arouse more people's curiosity, naturally it attracted a lot of attention on the first day of entering the institute.

Mu Yuan didn't understand all these things at the moment, and Lu Zijun didn't explain too clearly. It wasn't until the next time he talked with Ji Jin that King Xin analyzed it carefully with him before he understood.Ji Jin couldn't help laughing and cursing: "These words are really a skater's. There is obviously a more low-key way, but he wants to be so ostentatious, obviously to express his opinion to me. However, he is very confident in your chess skills, and his vision Not bad." Ji Jin said, looking at Mu Yuan.Mu Yuan smiled back, if he wanted to talk about this black and white square inch, he was never afraid of any challenge.

Of course, these are things to follow.

At this moment, Mu Yuan, who had just come to prepare for the imperial edict, was slightly pensive, and Lu Zijun on the opposite side did not explain much, but asked curiously: "I don't know what kind of friendship Brother Mu has with Yan Shangshu? If it is not convenient to talk about it, let me Did not ask."

After Yan Jidao handed over the letter of recommendation, someone went to check the relationship between the two, but the two of them really had nothing to do with each other, except that Mu Yuan had visited once when he first arrived in the capital.In fact, Young Master Yan traveled abroad all the year round, and when he was in Beijing, he was very low-key, rarely revealing his identity, so most people in Beijing only heard about him by name and never saw him. The young master brought up the relationship between Yan and Mu.

As long as the matter is in the right direction, you can find out as soon as you check it out. I didn't intend to hide it from anyone. Mu Yuan said frankly: "There is nothing unspeakable. It is also fate. On the way to Beijing, I met the young master of the Yan family. This young man Yu Yidao is quite talented, and he fell in love with me, so he took him under the door. Fortunately, the Shangshu is open-minded, and he didn't think I was unknown, but recommended me for me, and that's why he came here."

Although the location of the two is remote, there has been no other noise in the room since they spoke, and the two did not deliberately lower their voices, so Lu Zijun heard Mu Yuan's answer, and the others could also hear it clearly.Then someone showed a sudden look, someone wrote something hastily, and someone simply stepped out of the door, and there were only three or five people in the room.

Lu Zijun glanced around from the corner of his eyes, and slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a little sarcasm.

After the defeat in Yangzhou, Lu Zijun went back home, took a short rest and went directly to Beijing.On the way, he received news from the servant who deliberately arranged to stay in Yangzhou, and he was surprised to learn that Mu Yuan missed the leader of Lunping because he missed the decisive battle.I thought that seeing Mu Yuan again would not be until after the next talk, but the teacher firmly said that Mu Yuan would definitely come to Beijing this time.Lu Zijun wanted to ask what happened, but the teacher laughed and didn't answer, only saying that he will find out in the future.

It has been more than a month since he entered the alternate office, Lu Zijun can't say that he is not used to it, he just doesn't like it.Lu Zijun was taught by Lin Yufu since he was a child. He taught not only chess skills, but also the way to survive in the officialdom.Lu Zijun knew from the very beginning that the imperial edict office was not a quiet place.I have a teacher to protect me, so I don't have to passively get involved in those messy things, but most people are coerced, whether it is voluntary or involuntary.As long as you are here, you can't help yourself.Lu Zijun didn't know if he would eventually become the one he hated at first, but at this moment, he could still express some of his protest and dissatisfaction.Therefore, he deliberately made clear his acquaintance with Mu Yuan, and also deliberately asked this question that everyone wanted to know but no one was willing to ask directly.

Mu Yuan's frankness is not only his answer, but also his attitude.Lu Zijun saw that the young man in front of him was as calm, indifferent, and sincere as when he first met him, as if he had returned to the time when he could purely discuss chess, and the gloom in his heart gradually dissipated.

Lu Zijun raised his eyebrows and said, "The last game with Brother Mu really benefited me a lot. I have been studying hard these days, and I only hope that I can ask Brother Mu for advice again. Today I finally met, I am not very happy, please invite Mu Brother don’t hesitate to teach me.”

Mu Yuan readily accepted the invitation, and the two quickly set up a chess game.

After guessing, Lu Zijun took the white and went first.

Thirty-nine points were shot, the star position was forced by Dafei, and the hanging corner was split by two.

At that time, people often liked Xiao Fei to start with a corner, but Lu Zijun did not take the usual path.Lin Yufu, the former chess player he studied under, has always liked to make strange moves, and he also created several fixed patterns by himself. Lu Zijun was influenced by it, and he also liked novel ways of playing.

Having seen the "Golden Well Lane" played by the other party, such an opening is not surprising to Mu Yuan.More importantly, today's Go is limited by the number of seats, and there is only a fixed star at the beginning.Mu Yuan has accumulated thousands of years of star-style development and changes, no matter how extraordinary his moves are, they are only ordinary to him.

But in any case, Lu Zijun is already a chess player with a relatively new start and a lot of changes that Mu Yuan has encountered so far.Two months later, Lu Zijun's chess strength has improved compared to when he was in Yangzhou that day.Xu Shi is now in a changed environment that has affected his state of mind. His chess has become a little more restrained and less sharp.

At the beginning of the match between the two, the few candidates who were still in the room surrounded them.

Although Lu Zijun has been in the institute for more than a month, he has always been aloof and does not take the initiative to make friends with others. Those who wanted to make friends with him were blocked by his lukewarmness.Those who can enter the candidate waiting room must have some strength, otherwise the chess skills will be too weak, and the person who recommends will lose face.Since no one is worse than anyone else, naturally there is no reason to put a hot face on a cold pot.During this period of time, Lu Zijun had only a handful of matches in the institute, and most of the time he played alone or was not in the institute.From the only few games, it can be seen that his chess strength is not weak, but it is not yet known how high it is.

Everyone's curiosity about Lu Zijun is not weaker than that of Mu Yuan who has just arrived.Now that Mu Yuanfang appeared, Lu Zijun took the initiative to invite the fight, and everyone looked forward to it even more.
