Chapter 280
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Loud and urgent voices continuously came from the depths of the green shade. Just listening to these crisp sounds one after another, one can tell that His Majesty is in a good mood.

However, for Pei Que, the headache time has just begun.

Xiao Che is fond of chess, but also has a cleanliness habit. He doesn't like others deliberately losing to him in order to flatter him.

But who has enough guts to compete with the monarch and decide to kill His Majesty under his command?
A few days ago, Lu Qing, who played chess with him, was severely reprimanded by His Majesty Yi Yuruyi because he deliberately lost in the game.The Bai family, who was ordered to accompany yesterday, acted boldly and won the third son. Although His Majesty praised his rude behavior, according to the rumors of the palace people, His Majesty's face has been ugly all day since he lost the game. Ye Ziyun, whom he likes, is more cautious than usual when playing chess with him, and he never forgets to observe his words and actions in every move.

Pei Que, the hereditary Marquis of Jinyang, who didn't know how to handle the game, was naturally trembling when playing chess under the shade of a tree.

He has to think for a long time for every move, and calculates the advance and retreat every time he makes a move. He can't win, but he can't lose too clearly.

If His Majesty is very good at chess, this job would not be difficult, but His Majesty's chess strength is rare in the world. Pei Que, who is so terribly proficient in Go, even felt that it would be effortless to kill him without leaving any pieces behind!

But even so, he has to lose, and he has to lose so that His Majesty is comfortable.

This is really a painful job, Pei Que thought to himself, and couldn't help but sympathize with Ye Ziyun who was accompanying the palace.

Unlike them who only occasionally entered the palace to play chess, Ye Ziyun was His Majesty's attendant and had to follow behind Xiao Che every day.The Ye family in Yinzhou, where he was born, was a first-class powerful family in the Xie dynasty, but he belonged to a side branch, but he was slightly more noble than the common people.

That's why he served Xiao Che's side for many years but failed to become an official.

In fact, if it weren't for a coincidence, it would be impossible for a humble person like him to serve the monarch.

Today there is no eldest son, and the biological mother is not favored in the late emperor's harem, so when the fifth prince reaches the age of eight, and the palace chooses children from famous families to accompany him as attendants according to the rules, each family is only willing to give him the bright but not very good ones. The children of the direct line were sent to be selected by the fifth prince.Maybe it was because he knew his identity, or because he had the eyes of a monarch at only ten years old. Among dozens of children from aristocratic families, the fifth prince had his eyes on Ye Ziyun, who was only five years old at the time. He must keep this thin and poor child. Be a playmate.

In a blink of an eye for more than ten years, the prince who was neglected became the emperor, and Ye Ziyun, who was regarded as an abandoned son, also became the most favored attendant in front of the emperor.

If it wasn't for Ye Ziyun's background being too low, he might have already made his mark in the court.

Pei Que thought unhappily that when selecting attendants back then, it was not that the Ye family did not have children of the same age as His Majesty, but they pushed out Ye Ziyun because they were not optimistic about His Majesty's future and did not want to waste noble family children.It's just that, even if His Majesty intends to promote Ye Ziyun, he still has to worry about the face of the entire Ye family - the thousand-year-old family has always been stubborn about face.

Just as he was thinking about something, a voice sounded behind him.

"This move is not good. If you are attacked here, Pei Shilang will lose..."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Che's sunspots placed key pieces on the chessboard very naturally, and the situation changed drastically!
"Pei Qing's family relented."

Xiao Che said proudly, but Pei Que was dumb.Because this place was not a failure he intentionally left, but it was not until Ye Ziyun pointed it out behind him that he suddenly realized that no matter how he planned it, the key to winning or losing was in the opponent's control.

Pei Que was quite well-known in the chess world in the capital, and he was already full of anger when he entered the palace to play chess with him. It was rare to meet a master, and he immediately aroused his desire to win.Although under Ye Ziyun's guidance, Heizi managed to win back half of the game, but his chess strength was too poor.Pei Que's five sons chained up and beat the monarch by surprise. However, before he realized that he had unknowingly committed the crime of insulting the monarch, Ye Ziyun, who was standing behind him, casually gave some pointers, and the situation was reversed again!

In the end, Pei Que was killed to pieces.

He raised his head bitterly, and for the first time took a serious look at this young man who was rumored to have gained a firm foothold in the palace by relying on his cleverness and luck.

Leaves cloud.

His appearance was nothing more than average, and his figure was nothing extraordinary, but for some reason, Pei Que felt that he was unusual. Looking at his gentle and harmless face, Pei Que even felt a little scared, as if the soft spring water Man, it may turn into a violent storm at any time, sweeping the world!
"You beat my 20 years of hard work in half the time!"

Pei Que said with lingering fears that Go is not something that can be learned overnight. He learned Go at the age of five, and it has been more than 20 years since then, but he never thought that he would easily lose to a young man who was almost ten years younger than him.

"Pei Shilang is too modest, I'm just a bystander."

Ye Ziyun said indifferently, in his opinion, defeating Pei Que seemed to be a trivial matter that should not be mentioned.

However, Xiao Che, who was revered as Emperor Xuan by later generations, said braggingly: "Pei Qing's family, this servant of mine has no special accomplishments in Go. A key talent."

Pei Que's complexion changed. It was said that the blood of the Ye clan had "the blood of famous generals", and there were many descendants of heroes who would never be born. Pei Que had always dismissed these legends.But it wasn't until he met Ye Ziyun that Pei Que realized that the "blood of a famous general" was real, and it was on this tender young man!
No wonder you feel that under Ye Ziyun's watery face, there is an unimaginable storm hidden!
It's a pity, Pei Que thought to himself, this storm may have the power to sweep the world, but the rules of the nine-rank Zhongzheng are not so easy to break!Ye Ziyun's father was a humble man whose identity had been wiped out, while his mother was degraded by the entire Ye family as a disgraceful existence!
In the era of the powerful and noble, there is no need for a humble genius!
……

……

After Pei Que withdrew, Xiao Che pinched the chess piece in his hand, and while studying the chessboard, he said to Ye Ziyun who was serving him: "How about it, is Ziyun really not going to think about my suggestion yesterday? Becoming a general, for I made meritorious deeds?"

Ye Ziyun smiled wryly and said: "Which man does not have the heart to make contributions? But Your Majesty knows the current situation in the court better than I do. There are many powerful families and powerful families. Although His Majesty is the emperor, he cannot appoint and dismiss officials as he pleases."

"But you are a man who is destined to become a peerless general! If your talent can be used on the battlefield, it will be a great benefit to the court and the world!"

Xiao Che said dejectedly, he had discovered Ye Ziyun's talent a long time ago, this man with a temperament as round as a stone in water, but under the inconspicuous stone coat is wrapped a piece of rare jade in the world!
To have him serve by his side is the love of the heavens for Xiao Che!
But when Xiao Che was ready to reuse Ye Ziyun and let him truly shine, he was restrained by reality.

Nine-rank Zhongzheng's promotion of filial piety may have been of great help to the country's selection of talents, but at this time, it has been more than 300 years since Cao Mengde's era. The nine-rank Zhongzheng system back then has long been reduced to a tool for the powerful and nobles to monopolize the regime for generations. !

Xiao Che was lucky to have such an unborn talent like Ye Ziyun chasing him by his side; but he was also unlucky, he had an empty treasure mountain and couldn't use it, so he could only sigh in regret!Because he met Ye Ziyun, he would be curious from time to time, how many talents there are, because of the limitation of status, they cannot be reused!

Now the hereditary Marquis of Jinyang, one of the great nobles of the Xie Dynasty, was just a poor scholar before he met Emperor Taizu.

It can be seen that the children of the nobles may have more education and experience than the common people, but the real genius is the dice in the hands of the gods, and you will not have more chances just because you are a noble.

There may also be a peerless genius hidden in the bottom layer!

Because of the monopoly of powerful and powerful nobles, how many talents have I lost!
Thinking of this, Xiao Che crushed the chess piece in his palm.

"Zizi ruined my country!"

Ye Ziyun hurriedly comforted: "But this situation has lasted for hundreds of years. Everyone is used to the status quo where the nobles own everything and the common people are humble. If Your Majesty does not have a comprehensive plan to fight with them, I am afraid it will be another seven-year-old war." Chaos in the country!"

"You dare!"

"If you are pushed into a hurry, it may indeed happen. After all...the Lanling Xiao family was once only a branch of the powerful nobles."

As Ye Ziyun said tactfully, Xiao Che suddenly realized that the powerful and nobles have monopolized the government for a long time, and they can even influence the monarch to abolish the establishment.The Xiao family of Lanling ascended the throne as the empress, and out of the same concern, they imposed certain restrictions on the power of the powerful and powerful nobles to prevent a second Xiao family from appearing.However, most of the officials in the court were born in aristocratic families. Once the current policy endangers their vital interests, they may join forces to abolish him and establish a new monarch!

"You're right... You really can't act rashly."

Xiao Che said wearily, he is an aspiring monarch, he is not willing to be restrained by the great nobles for the rest of his life, he is cowardly and unable to realize his ambitions.

He wants to be a monarch who will be remembered forever.

And the monopoly of powerful families is the biggest problem in front of his ambition!
It needs to be solved, and it must be solved!

Xiao Che raised his head, the ordeal of reality made him a little restless, but the distant blue sky broadened his vision again.

"Breaking the monopoly of powerful clans will not be achieved overnight, but we can gradually implement a system for selecting low-level officials that is independent of the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, so that ordinary people have the opportunity to serve the country. By the time those in power are old, And their children and grandchildren are still young, so I can gradually transfer those who have been tempered to the capital and let them occupy important positions, step by step... and finally eliminate the monopoly advantage of the rich and nobles on the country's talent selection!"

"It's just that I'm going to wrong you. I know that what you said just now is insincere. There is no man who has no intention of making meritorious deeds. You are just considerate of me, and you are afraid that I will confront the powerful and powerful prematurely because of protecting you. Actually I also thought about it, you... after all, you still have a low background, a shallow foundation, and it is difficult to convince the public. If you are promoted too early, you may indeed become a thorn in the eyes of the powerful! But I still want to give you something... From today on, every time you win me You can get a lottery... If you win one dice, I will give you one person and one horse..."

When Ye Ziyun heard this, a smile appeared on his gentle face.

"If Your Majesty must give this humble minister this lottery, I hope to add another one, that all those who give it to me must have white robes and white horses. In addition, I hope that Your Majesty will have no regrets!"

"You have no jokes!"

Xiao Che also had the same smile on his face.

……

"War can be won, attack can be taken!"

Twenty years later, the white-robed army that shocked the world and completely ended the separatist regime of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Nanxie, and completed the great unification of the Central Plains, just took the first step.
