But military officers are better, they are older, and when they pass away one day, their status will naturally decline, unlike Confucian officials, even great Confucians are no longer good, but there are new great Confucians, after all, there are too many literati in the world up.

But what Xu Qingxiao was most afraid of was not them, but the civil servants behind, these civil servants were the wolves.

Hiding behind and not talking, quietly watching the struggle between the two factions. When the situation is almost stable, this wolf will show its true colors.

Therefore, Xu Qingxiao can think that the reason why the Empress is not in a hurry to confirm the Northern Expedition is to hold back the legs of these civil servants.

Sure enough, these politicians have complicated hearts. If it weren't for the two lives, Xu Qingxiao really couldn't stand it.

After a while, Xu Qingxiao tidied up her appearance and left the inn.

He went to find the address of Daru Chen Xin.

Chen Xinda Confucianism lived in a relatively remote place, not in Wen Palace, if it was in Wen Palace, Xu Qingxiao would not have visited.

With my current situation, if I go to the Wen Palace, I will be looking for abuse.

The core circle of the Great Wei Imperial City is divided into several areas.

The east and west are Suzaku Avenue and Xuanwu Avenue, and the next is 72 Fang and the three major neighborhoods.

Suzaku Xuanwu Avenue is the place where the princes, princes, courtiers, and relatives of the emperor live, and it is the area where the core figures stay.

72 Fang is the second place where the core figures of the Wei Dynasty live. Every inch of land is worth an inch of gold. None of the people who live in 72 Fang is an ordinary person.

As for the three major neighborhoods, they are the places where ordinary people live. Of course, this ordinary can only be said to be ordinary in the imperial city, and they are also masters outside the imperial city.

Lin'an Street, Guangyang Street, Noon Street.

Confucian Chen Xin lives in Lin'an Street, Xu Qingxiao made some inquiries and was taken to Confucian Chen's house.

The mansion is not big, compared to the Duke's mansion, it's nothing but nothing, but it's not bad, at least there are pavilions and courtyards, which is fine.

After the gatekeeper gave a notification, Xu Qingxiao entered the mansion.

Chen Xin Daru was playing chess in the courtyard with a middle-aged man.

Xu Qingxiao didn't know this person, but he knew his identity.

county king.

In the Great Wei Dynasty, only the king of the county could wear the four-claw python robe.

"Student Xu Qingxiao, pay my respects to Mr. Chen Xin and the county king."

Xu Qingxiao saluted and bowed to the two of them.

"Haha, there is no need to be too polite, Shouren, you sit aside, I will finish this game of chess with King Huaiping first, and then I will chat with you."

Chen Xin Daru smiled, looking very kind.

But Huaiping County King didn't say a word, but he glanced at himself, but this glance was very calm, even with a slight... not liking it.

Although he didn't know why the other party looked at him with such eyes, Xu Qingxiao's heart was calm, and he sat aside, waiting patiently.

However, King Huaiping seemed to be very hostile to him. He thought about the chess and often waited for a long time before making a move.

Although playing chess requires contemplation, this kind of contemplation is really a bit deliberate. Besides, there are guests coming, and this is done on purpose, which is a bit deliberate.

Xu Qingxiao was a little curious, when did he offend King Huaiping?

There are quite a few kings in Wei County, thirteen kings, and three living princes. The father of King Huaiping is Prince Huaining. He has a great background and great power. He is not an idle king.

Prince Huaining even holds the Great Wei Qilin Army in his hand. This is no joke, he can be regarded as a powerful minister among powerful ministers, with a detached position.

So it is a bad thing to offend King Huaiping, but why did I offend him?Could it be that you are jealous of your good looks?

Just as Xu Qingxiao was thinking, a voice sounded suddenly.

"The king of the county is really good at chess today, Chen lost."

Chen Xin Daru's voice sounded, with a slight smile.

"Mr. is really serious. Mr. Chess is superb. It's nothing more than someone who came here and didn't care about the game. Otherwise, this king will not be able to beat Mr. anyway."

King Huaiping said calmly, he was very respectful to Chen Xin Daru.

"No, no, if you win, you win."

Daru Chen Xin chuckled, then got up, twirled his beard, and said to Xu Qingxiao.

"Shouren, can you play chess?"

Chen Xin smiled.

"Students don't know anything about chess."

Xu Qingxiao shook his head. He doesn't know how to play chess. To be precise, he doesn't know how to play Go. Backgammon is fine, but for this kind of person, he can't beat his opponent even in backgammon.

"It's okay, give it a try, the old man will teach you."

Chen Xin smiled.

Xu Qingxiao didn't refuse either, but got up and walked aside.

King Huaiping sat still, but the coldness exuding was very obvious.

Daru Chen Xin could see the hostility of King Huaiping, but he didn't say much, but taught Xu Qingxiao how to play Go carefully.

After getting a general understanding, Xu Qingxiao started to play chess. He played black chess. In fact, Xu Qingxiao also knew a little bit of how to play Go, of course only a little bit.

Chen Xin Daru didn't really take it seriously, but played a guiding chess for Xu Qingxiao.

Otherwise, if you really want to be serious, it is bullying.

Xu Qingxiao made moves very quickly, almost without any thought, giving people a feeling that he could move wherever he thought.

It's not that Xu Qingxiao is messing around, but Xu Qingxiao understands a truth, you can lose in chess, but you can't lose in momentum.

Chen Xin Daru didn't say anything, and the two made moves very quickly.

Not long after, the chessboard formed a situation of encirclement and suppression, and it was Chen Xin, the great Confucian, who encircled and suppressed Xu Qingxiao.

In the end, the chess game was over, and Xu Qingxiao didn't lose much, just forty or fifty eyes. Xu Qingxiao thought it was not bad, at least he was facing a great Confucian.

When the chess game was over, Chen Xin Daru spoke slowly.

"Shouren, the game of chess is like life. Although you are playing chess for the first time, you can tell that you are decisive, good at attacking, and aggressive."

"This is a good thing. You are like a dragon in the early stage, but it exposes many problems. When you were No.40 in the fifth hand, you were too aggressive. I only need to make one move to make you unable to concentrate."

"And you had this problem in your No. 70 eighth hand and 95th hand, and in the 1th hand, although you won my five eyes, you also fell into the old man's trap, resulting in losing the whole game."

"Do you understand?"

Chen Xin Daru opened his mouth. He used the chess game to say something cryptically. The meaning was very simple. I hope Xu Qingxiao will not be too radical and think carefully.

"Mr. taught me that."

"However, the students can see the problem in the No.70 eighth move and the 95th move, but the students don't know how to play chess, so they can only choose the safest method that the students think."

"As for moves 1, although the students lost all games, they think that the chessboard cannot be compared with human life. Life is as big as a chessboard, and a game of chess may be just a process, not the whole life."

Xu Qingxiao could hear Chen Xin's persuasion.

But Xu Qingxiao also used the chess game to express his feelings.

A game of chess is lost, but I lose because I am young and I don’t know many things, so I have no regrets when I lose.

But life is not just a game of chess, but a game of chess ten thousand times, so if you lose here, you can go to other places to play, and you can't think that I will lose everything because of a momentary aggressiveness.

Xu Qingxiao's words made Chen Xin Daru feel a little emotional.

He nodded, wanted to say something, but didn't know whether to say it, and finally opened his mouth.

"Shouren, if you listen to the old man's persuasion, you can actually consider giving up your mind, or even if you don't give up, you can also join my Zhu Sheng's lineage. It is not a bad thing for you to learn with good intentions and integrate his meaning into Zhu Sheng's. Good thing."

After all, Chen Xin Daru still said these words to dissuade Xu Qingxiao from joining Zhu Sheng's lineage.

"Mr. Qingxiao understands what you mean, but since Qingxiao has made a statement, she will not join Zhu Sheng's lineage again."

Xu Qingxiao shook his head, he gave such an answer, this time he came to see Daru Chen because he had made an appointment before, and Daru Chen didn't have any malice towards him, so he came here.

But as soon as he said this, before Chen Xin Daru had time to speak, the voice of King Huaiping rang out.

"Hmph, it's really arrogant."

The voice of King Huaiping sounded, making the scene a little chilly.

Xu Qingxiao remained silent, while King Huaiping continued to speak.

"Sage Zhu is the sage of our Great Wei Dynasty. His intentions are as high as the sky. You are a mere Confucian scholar who dares to speak out. Chen Xin Daru cherishes your talent, but you toast and do not eat or drink fine wine."

"Xu Qingxiao, don't you really think that you are an eternal genius?"

King Huaiping opened his mouth and directly reprimanded Xu Qingxiao without giving him any face, and called him by his first name.

"The Duke of Huaiping, Xu has no such intentions, but the Duke of Huaiping has been inexplicably hostile since Xu appeared."

"Xu wants to ask the county king, where can he provoke the county king?"

Xu Qingxiao opened his mouth. Facing the angry rebuke of King Huaiping, he was not afraid or afraid. Instead, he was just curious why the other party was so hostile to him.

"You are right. I am indeed hostile to you. If it wasn't for Chen Xin Daru here, based on what you said just now, this king would give you a few slaps in the face to let you know what rules are."

King Huaiping did not hide anything. He really hated Xu Qingxiao, and he hated Xu Qingxiao extremely.

As soon as these words were said, Xu Qingxiao couldn't help but frowned slightly, saying what he said, and cursing and cursing, this sentence was a bit shameful, how many times did he slap himself?If you really dare, I promise that if Qingxiao can't kill you, I will take your last name.

"Don't be angry, the king of the county."

"Shou-jen is just a little young. It's normal not to know the rules. When you're young, you have a little bit of vigor."

At this time, Chen Xin Daru immediately got up to smooth things over, he looked at Xu Qingxiao and said.

"Shouren, the teacher of the Prince of Huaiping, is the Wengong of the Great Wei Dynasty, the first teacher of Yangshan, and a great Confucian in the world."

Chen Xin Daru explained, Xu Qingxiao understood in an instant.

There are a few truly ruthless characters in the Great Wei Palace, who are great scholars of heaven and earth, and they are not idle great scholars of heaven and earth. They have half-stepped into the holy realm and may become semi-sacred existences at any time.

They are real giants, and it is precisely because of them that the structure of the Wei court is difficult to move. Even if the empress wants to eradicate the power of Confucian officials, it is difficult to implement it. These few are immortal, Zhu Sheng's line is extremely prosperous .

Now Xu Qingxiao understood why King Huaiping hated him.

It turned out to be a confidant of Zhu Sheng's lineage, that's okay, it's justifiable to target him like this.

It's just whether you should be upset or not.

"Qingxiao understands. It turns out that he is a disciple of Yangshan's first teacher. No wonder the king of Huaiping is so hostile to Qingxiao. If that is the case, please ask the king to do it. First kill Xu, and then make everyone in the world not support Zhu. The literati of the holy line should also be killed."

"It's better to burn all the books of other saints except Zhu Sheng. From now on, scholars all over the world can study Zhu Sheng's studies with peace of mind."

Xu Qingxiao opened her mouth and made a serious suggestion.

"Insanity!"

Bang!

How could King Huaiping fail to hear Xu Qingxiao's ridicule? He let out a roar, with a terrifying aura like a mountain, directly suppressing Xu Qingxiao. King Huaiping is not only a Confucian scholar, but also a warrior.

At least a warrior above rank seven.

The imposing momentum like a mountain torrent was suppressed, and Xu Qingxiao felt the terrible oppressive force in an instant. His legs trembled uncontrollably when he was carrying a thousand catties. This was a natural reaction of his body. Under this momentum, I had to kneel down.

"Xu Qingxiao, you really don't know how to live or die, do you think I dare not do anything to you?"

King Huaiping said angrily.

"enough!"

But at this moment, Great Confucian Chen Xin opened his mouth, filled with terrifying righteousness, and the sound was like the bell of Huang Lu, resounding in the ears of King Huaiping.

The next moment, King Huaiping withdrew his aura like a torrent.

But Xu Qingxiao's face was extremely pale. Although the pressure was gone, this feeling made him feel a little palpitations.

Chen Xin Daru's awe-inspiring righteousness could not resist the power of warriors, but his prestige was still there, and with a single word, the king of Huaiping stopped.

"Reverend Chen Xin, it's my king's fault. I hope that Reverend Chen Xin will forgive me for using force in front of you."

The king of Huaiping County believed in Zhu Xue, and his master was Yang Shan's first teacher, so he naturally respected Chen Xin, to be precise, he respected all the Confucianists of Zhu Sheng's lineage.

If it wasn't for Chen Xin Daru being here, Xu Qingxiao would definitely have no good fruit to eat today.

"Shouren, are you alright?"

Daru Chen Xin supported Xu Qingxiao, then took a deep breath and looked at Wangdao of Huaiping County.
