Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

I don't know why, the Supreme Emperor, who was in a rare good mood today, looked at the backs of the two children, Li Qiu and Wu Jue, and felt extremely reluctant in his heart.

Inexplicably, the eye circles turned slightly red.

The strong feeling of parting is beyond words.

Chapter 189 Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji Arrived in Person

Before going out, Li Shimin took a deep breath, and directly ordered: "Li Qiu, when you have nothing to do in the future, you can come and play chess with the Supreme Emperor."

"In addition, there is no need for the imperial dining room to deliver meals every day in Da'an Palace."

"Those who choose the imperial dining room will live in this Da'an Palace, and they can order whatever the Emperor wants to eat every day."

"In terms of spending, there is no limit."

After leaving Da'an Palace, Li Shimin looked at Li Qiu again.

Before he could speak, Li Qiu immediately bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I will send the brand-new chess to the palace when I turn back."

His cleverness directly amused Li Shimin.

Then he laughed and cursed and said, "It's just you kid!"

"This set of chess is not enough, so we need three or five sets."

Li Qiu once again bowed to accept the order.

……

Early the next morning, Wu Jue ran to the Furong Garden without even eating breakfast.

As soon as they met, she asked Li Qiu to play chess with her.

However, he was still held back by Li Qiu, and sat down to have breakfast with Li Qiu and A Ke first.

After breakfast, the two of them happily opened the chessboard to start a formal game.

At first, A Ke was curious about what could make Wu Jue so excited and interested.

He leaned over and took a look.

Then I gave the two of them a "boring" label, and went to train apprentices alone.

Wu Jue's IQ is very high.

After watching for so long yesterday, I have long been familiar with the rules of this chess.

And after a night of pondering, I have also researched several solutions, and I am going to try them out.

Seeing her gearing up like this, Li Qiu asked her with a smile if she should let her go first.

There is a feeling of a master master showing off in front of a young apprentice.

but……

He played six games in a row, and Li Qiu lost six games in a row.

Yesterday's Taishanghuang was like this, and today's Wu Jue is like this again.

This chess game, Li Qiu almost vomited blood from depression.

And at this moment, Luo Kexin came to the garden.

Along with her were Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui who had just heard the news from Li Shimin.

These three are all people who like to play chess.

Especially in this kind of Chuhe-Han realm, each side is evenly matched, and there are chess games of generals, chariots, horses and pawns.

Just listening to Li Shimin's description, several of them became interested at the same time and ran over.

And when they saw this interesting chessboard, the Chu River and Han Realm in the middle, the interesting strategic layout of the chess pieces, and each of the extremely delicate chess pieces.

They were amazed again and again, and kept urging Li Qiu and Wu Jue to play chess quickly and show them a demonstration.

At this moment, Li Qiu couldn't help but smile wryly, "I mean Master Changsun, Master Fang, and Master Du."

"Let's watch the chess and not talk, the real gentleman."

"Look and see, don't make random comments."

Listening to his words, Fang Xuanling assured and nodded seriously.

But Du Ruhui glared at him, "Where is there so much nonsense, just play your chess."

"Are we the kind of people who watch and chime in?"

Changsun Wuji also kept nodding and smiling, "That's right, that's right. I've watched chess for half my life, and I've never had that time."

Afterwards, Li Qiu followed Wu with suspicion.

As I said earlier, in terms of chess skills, Li Qiu is not a stinky player, but compared with Wu Jue, whose IQ is over the top, he is definitely not an opponent.

After just twenty or so rounds of fighting, Li Qiu was at a disadvantage and was in a state of being suppressed.

At this time, Fang Xuanling at the side sighed softly and shook his head involuntarily.

Du Ruhui frowned tightly, wishing he could put his face on the chessboard, and kept muttering, "It's a bad move."

As for Changsun Wuji, he kept praising Wu Jue on the other side, "Don't say it, Wu Jue is a second player in chess, it's wonderful to keep it!"

In front of these three "true gentlemen" who watched the game without saying a word, Li Qiu, who was already in a state of confusion, was completely defeated.

Almost wanted to throw a ball and disarm and surrender.

Maybe he also saw his embarrassment, Wu Jue covered his mouth and snickered, while secretly giving him the son, lest he lose face.

But the three standing aside at this moment are all well-known figures with high IQ throughout history, so how could they not see Wu Jue's handwriting.

So when Wu Jue started to give in, Fang Xuanling on the side was not happy, "Wu Jue, this game of chess is about being open and aboveboard, and confronting the chess game."

"It's no fun if you do that."

Du Ruhui also nodded, "That's right, if this skill is not as good as a person's, it must be said that the skill is not as good as a person's."

"But this kid really sucks at playing chess."

Changsun Wuji: "I said Wu Jue, even if you want your son to do something, you should cover it up."

"Good guy, just take your own car and put it on this kid's horse."

"Isn't it too obvious for you?"

In the end, Li Qiu was pulled down from his seat pitifully.

Then they tried to play chess, and Li Qiu was in charge of explaining the rules.

With the IQ of these three, they quickly got started, and their chess skills soared like a rocket.

Afterwards, Changsun Wuji played chess with Wu Jue, and Fang Xuanling faced his old friend Du Ruhui.

The chess situation on both sides is really thrilling.

Not to mention gathering the few people with the highest IQ and the deepest strategy in Datang today, it's not much different.

Because, all three of them sneaked out of the imperial city with their official duties on their backs.

So I couldn't play two games, so I hurriedly rolled up two sets of chess and ran away.

Before leaving, he still did not forget to sarcasm, criticizing Li Qiu's brains for inventing such an interesting and fun chess.

But as an inventor, his chess skills are really bad.

Li Qiu was filled with indignation.

At the same time, he also asked the craftsmen to send the three chess sets ordered by His Majesty yesterday to the palace.

Then in the next few days, I will work overtime and keep making chess.

There is no doubt that this will definitely create a whirlwind of popularity in Chang'an City.

I saw that Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wu Jue and others were so obsessed with this chess before.

Luo Kexin was also interested.

After asking Li Qiu to teach her, the two played chess together.

It wasn't until he met Luo Kexin that Li Qiu finally felt that he was a normal person.

Naturally, Luo Kexin is not stupid, but he is still incomparable to Wu Jue and the other three.

It's quite normal for a newcomer to chess.

He is not very skilled in rules, routines, and techniques, and is still in the stage of groping.

Li Qiu finally found someone he could bully.

Otherwise, he would really be driven crazy.

Sorry, I encountered something very annoying and disgusting today, and the update is a bit late.

In this life, when you don’t notice, it will quietly feed you shit, and from time to time it will disgust you

Chapter 190 Stealing the National Nuo's Showcase

In the next few days, nothing happened as Li Qiu expected.

This chess quickly became popular in the palace and among the courtiers.

Especially people like Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, who have strategy and are well versed in the art of war, are particularly fascinated by this chess.

Even Li Shimin is no exception.

Naturally, Li Qiu would not miss this kind of business opportunity.

With the joint efforts of those craftsmen and children, dozens of sets of chess can be produced every day.

Like the first-class products made by craftsmen, they are sold at high prices to rich people.

A pair of 30 copper coins ([-] copper coins) is priced, and the genuine logo of Furong Academy is engraved on the board.

The purpose is to prevent these rich people from buying pirated copies.

After all, there is no anti-counterfeiting technology in chess.

We can only use the face of these upper classes and these people as defense.

The slightly inferior and flawed ones made by these children were sold to the people in the city at a very cheap price.

A pair of one hundred Wen, that is, a manual cost.

It also has the logo of Furong Academy on it, but the workmanship is poor.

It is also very different from those high-end chess materials, and has a very large degree of differentiation.

In this way, the name of Furong Academy was also established.

At this time, the New Year's Eve has finally arrived.

New Year's Eve, the last day at the end of the year, according to the customs handed down from the pre-Qin period, a ceremony of exorcising Nuo will be held on this day.

(Expelling Nuo: A ritual to expel epidemics and ghosts, it is one of the original witch dances, which later evolved into a dance form.)

The whole family gathers to feast and watch the night, and the lights are kept on all night.

In the morning of this day, under the organization of the servant and Luo Kexin, this group of children on vacation were busy with various affairs.

Some clean up, and some prepare ingredients for a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

There are also peach branches, door gods, spring banners and calligraphy.

In the Tang Dynasty, people's etiquette and procedures for festivals were quite rich.

Speaking of posting door gods, it is definitely not the Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde posted by later generations.

Now the two of them are still alive and well, it should be in the Song Dynasty, the two of them walked to the gate of the people's house.

The door gods in the Tang Dynasty usually choose two peach wood boards, on which are painted two gods, Shentu on the left and Yulei on the right.

Then hang the peach wood boards on the left and right sides of the gate. This is the gate god in the Tang Dynasty.

Regarding the Shen Tu and Yu Lei, there is such a record in the Shan Hai Jing: In the midst of the sea, there is the mountain of Du Shuo.

There is a big peach tree on it, and its bend is three thousand miles away.
