What about Mr. Faint?

The waiter whose name was too long to remember seemed to be nothing more than that.Since that day when he was left in court, I have never seen him come back.But it doesn't matter, after all, when a minister leaves, there are still thousands of ministers standing up and playing happily with me.

The court hall became more silent, to be precise, the whole right half became silent, only the villain on the left chattered.Although what I said was all things I didn't understand, without the support from the right, this fixed process went very fast, and sometimes it only took half an hour to complete.

Compared with the trembling at the beginning, today's father-in-law has become more and more calm.He began to understand me like Ah Gu, knowing when to shut up these people and when to disperse.The people below are like pawns in his hands. He said he went east, but he never went west, and he looked very powerful.

Ah Gu's chess is also getting more and more sophisticated, and every time Zhen has not made a move, his chess pieces are already in his hands.It's just that he doesn't look happy. When I'm thinking about how to proceed next, he always turns his head to look at the sky above the palace wall, his eyes are melancholy and hazy.

But when I turned around and looked at Zhen again, it was as soft and warm as before.

"You are not happy," looking at A Gu's disguised expression, all the interest in playing chess is gone, "Why? We have a bigger yard now, don't we? If you don't want it, let's go back to that small yard You can do it too."

"We can't go back," Ah Gu shook his head, "We can't go back again."

"why?"

What A Gu says is always profound and elusive. Most of the time A Gu is willing to explain, but there are always times when he is unwilling to explain.It's as if now, he just shook his head, and then grabbed my hand to make a move for me: "Go here, and you will catch your life."

He was the one who fell on my behalf, and broke off the dragon head that was about to take shape: "Ah, the dragon head is broken!" Some regretted that A Gu's previous layout for so long had been broken up, and the little maid behind her knelt down on the ground trembling with a plop , Shouting to His Majesty for mercy.

Forgive me, I'm not talking to her.I don't know where my father-in-law has gone, I haven't seen him since the end of the morning, and he usually doesn't show up until lunch: "What a pity..." Instead of looking at the little maid who seemed to be fainting, I turned to look at the beautiful Agu face.

"Isn't this great?" A Gu raised his head, stretched out his hand to grope my cheek, and then slid his arm down, "It's over soon, so we can go to the Royal Garden to have a look. How boring it would be to play chess every day , always do something that makes you happy."

"I'm very happy to be with Ah Gu!" Ignoring the broken expectations, I held Ah Gu's hand, "Today's court is interesting, that villain who is about this big seems to be called... Forget it’s not important.” After thinking for a long time, he couldn’t catch his name from his mind.

Ah Gu held my palm with his backhand, hummed to show that he was listening.

"As soon as I came up today, I was talking to me about Tai Ozu's one bucket of nine pots and passed it on to Gaozu, and Gaozu passed it on to his descendants." In fact, I was still a little hungry when I heard it. "Then Balabala talked a lot, but I understood the first sentence." Scratching his head and giggling twice.

Ah Gu raised his hand in a funny way, and then poked Zhen on the head: "Have you fed all the books you read to the dogs?"

"Reading can't fill your stomach," he coughed dryly. "In short, do you still listen to what I said. I saw it at the time. The whole chessboard was boiling at the beginning of his words."

"That's the court, not the chessboard." Ah Gu sighed as if he was in despair, "I told you, go to court."

"It's the first time, it's the first time I've seen their faces, they look like us." Ah Gu's clichés made people feel boring, "I thought it was true as what the concubine mother said, people outside They are all terrible, there are only fights and knives between each other, and they are all cannibals."

When I was young, my concubine's words were always impressive, and I remember most clearly what she said that night when she hugged me.Every word and every sentence, as if in my ears, was clear and decisive: "When my son grows up, don't go outside." Her makeup was already worn out, "People outside want my son's life."

For the first time, the eloquent A Gu didn't answer my words, nor did he dissuade me.He seems to have some partiality for my concubine mother, every time he talks about my concubine mother, he is silent.Maybe it's because he doesn't have any parents or brothers, and only me is around: "My mother and concubine must be very happy to see you."

In answer, it was a wan smile.

"Let's continue talking about the court, anyway, after that person finishes talking, the chessboard..." Seeing A Gu's condemning expression, "Well, the court has become very noisy, everyone is talking and chatting, until the father-in-law They stopped after yelling at them. You see, the father-in-law is so powerful, the chess pieces listen to everything he says."

A Gu let out a sneer: "Just as long as you are happy."

Ah Gu asked a very strange question: "With Ah Gu, I can be very happy every day."

"You can't imagine what happened at this time. Those villains below all knelt down with a plop!" I waved my hands to A Gubi to describe what happened at that time. I really wanted to describe the interesting scenes at that time to A Gu, "Like It's like cutting grass, with a sideways swing, it's all broken!"

It was a rare occasion, and Ah Gu laughed along with me. He smiled beautifully, and there was a small dimple in the corner of his mouth.The large eyes complete with small crescents, from which flow a black light.Ah Gu has an appearance that I don't have. Although I also have dimples, they are not as obvious as Ah Gu's.

"It's like cutting grass," Ah Gu smiled lightly and raised his hand to touch my face, "You really found a wonderful metaphor that makes people feel happy." His hand slipped onto my neck, rubbing it back and forth with.

It doesn't feel good to be pressed down on the softness on the neck: "It hurts." Even so, I don't want to interrupt A Gu's gesture of kissing, "But then my father-in-law seemed very angry, and told me that they They all want to interfere with my decision and question my status as a superior."

After saying this, I saw that A Gu's eyes turned red instantly, and I couldn't tell whether it was because of anger or something else.It's just that he pressed his hand on my neck even harder, so hard that he couldn't stand still and fell to the ground.

A large number of palace maids and eunuchs behind me knelt down, but Ah Gu rode on me, like all the fights in the small courtyard in the past, looking down at me against the sun, as if unknown: "Sometimes, you still I really envy you." He looked complicated, "It's good to know nothing."

"Good?" Seeing Ah Gu like this, I was a little at a loss, "Isn't it always good?"

His breathing suddenly became rapid, and then he suppressed it again: "Those ministers who disobeyed you," he lowered his eyes and covered all the expressions on his face with his eyelids, "what are you going to do with it?"

"What do you mean against Xu Zhen?"

"It's the person who makes you unhappy," Ah Gu stood up, and then stretched out his hand to me, "The person who makes you unhappy."

So, if you don’t have anything to say, it’s fine to just say it directly: "Elder-in-law said, just pull it out."

Ah Gu looked at me, and his expression suddenly became horrified: "Yes, just pull it out. Those who are disobedient, injustice, disobedient, and dissatisfied, all have to be pulled out." He clenched his fists tightly, as if It took a lot of effort to control his emotions, but his red eyes said it all.

Ah Gu seems to have mixed feelings about this chess... Chaotang, every time he talked about who his father-in-law pulled out, he would always stare at the sky, then burst out laughing, then turned around and went to the palace to display the emperor The tablet palace stayed for a long time.When he came back, he was that calm and calm Ah Gu again.

I like Ah Gu very much, because he knows too many things that I don't know, and understands that others don't understand the truth. More importantly, Ah Gu will make decisions for me: "Then you are not angry now, are you?"

As a reply, Ah Gu stepped forward and hugged me: "Do you like this place?" Ah Gu's body was very cold, as cold as a lake in December.When he hugs me, he can't help but tremble from the soles of his feet, but he still likes Ah Gu's embrace very much.

Because his embrace is more real and reliable than anyone else's.

"I don't like it." Compared with the small yard with only more than 100 bricks and tiles, this big yard is now too big, so big that it is empty, so big that sometimes Agu disappears and cannot be found, and so big that everyone They all walked quietly and hurriedly, so big that those people didn't even have their own faces.

"I don't like it either." A Gu said, "Do you want to leave? Go back to the small courtyard?" For the first time in three years, A Gu mentioned the small courtyard.I know that he has been living in the small courtyard all these years, but for some reason he doesn't want me to go back and live with him, and neither does my father-in-law.

Said that there were unclean and unlucky things there.

"If you want to go back," Ah Gu smiled softly, "you just need to listen to your father-in-law."

"As long as you listen to your father-in-law," Ah Gu's voice seemed to come from outside, "we can go back."

*The so-called left half and right half mean left culture and right martial arts.Here it means that military generals with military power no longer speak, but civil servants who can only talk nonsense and comment on state affairs.

*The father-in-law has become more in line with the emperor's favorite, in other words, he understands what kind of person the little emperor is.This is not a good thing, because he has figured out the little emperor, and relying on his understanding to gradually control the power, only then will the ministers listen to him instead of calling him a villain and admonishing the emperor.

*The analogy of cutting grass, those grasses that have been cut have not grown back long ago, and only new shoots can replace them.Just like the court, the courtiers who knelt down could no longer survive and would be replaced by others.

*A Gu touched the little emperor's neck, in fact wanting to strangle him to death.

* A bone said that the reason why the little emperor listened to his father-in-law was because he wanted the dynasty to end.Hand over the court to an eunuch, and the emperor becomes a puppet.He saw that his father-in-law was not a good person, so he made this decision.
