Chapter 227
Zhang Chao rode into Chang'an City, first went to the East Palace to pay homage to the prince, and gave him a few chapters of new drafts of Zizhi Tongjian. After chatting with the prince, he would say goodbye.
I went to Qinglong Temple for a while, and then Zhang Chao went to Wubenfang.
The new house has been renovated, but Zhang Chao has not told Cui Yingying and his father yet. Originally, this house was bought to facilitate the convenience of hosting a workshop in Beijing, and planned to live with Cui Yingying in the future. But now that Zhang Chao has gone to the East Palace, Zhang Chao has created a name for historians, so he can stay in Zhangjiagou all day, so this house is not so needed.
When the night came, the closed doors of Jing Street sounded and the city gates closed one after another. Zhang Chao sat at home until it was completely dark. He opened the side door of the house alone, and went to the side outside door of the house next door and knocked on the door.
Fang Family Study Room.
Fang Xuanling looked at Zhang Chao sitting opposite him, shook his head and smiled, "I heard that the prince is very polite to you?"
"Well, the treatment of a celebrity." Zhang Chao also said with a smile.
"Very good, if you do this, you will gain a foothold in the East Palace." Fang Xuanling found that Zhang Chao was still the same Zhang Chao, and he had no change. He had his own way of knowing people and liked to observe people's eyes. The eyes were the most unconcealable. Zhang Chao's eyes made Fang Xuanling feel that he had not changed.
"Play the chess!"
Zhang Chao knew that he would definitely not play Fang Xuanling, but he didn't refuse. It was quite interesting to play chess with Fang Xuanling. He was not the kind of person who would eat when he was in power and would only be an old coach left, teasing you to make you angry. Playing chess with Fang Xuanling, he would be equal to yours. You said he would let you, but they didn't let the car and the horse, but just took out the chess skills that matched you.
Even if you win, it will always make you feel that the game is very intense, and you will only have a little chance to win. Losing will make you very happy.
Playing chess with such a person is very interesting, and it is more like playing with another person.
Zhang Chao placed the chess piece and said, "I often regret it during this period. Why did I come to tell you that day? In fact, I just pretended to be sick and cured? I was just a little girl on the Bashang and hung for a few days, and the prince naturally forgot me."
"Because you are not born to be the kind of person who is destined to be unknown."
Zhang Chao knew that Fang Xuanling was superb in chess skills and knew that he would only use a level comparable to him. Therefore, he had no psychological pressure and just showed all his abilities and attacked desperately.
On the chessboard, two people attack and defend, and the chess is playing very quickly.
Zhang Chao opened and closed the game, and he played the full attack, and he didn't care about the gains and losses of one piece. The game of chess ended quickly, and then quickly played the chess and fought again, and he played it with great pleasure and pleasure.
Fang Xuanling sat in the chair given by the Zhang family, holding the cannon in his hand, and said to Zhang Chao, "Sometimes I think you are like a cannon on this chessboard. There was no cannon in this chessboard. But suddenly, there was an extra cannon, and he could directly fight a cow across the mountain, a variable. Because of this word, the scale of the entire chess play changed. The chessboard was still the same chessboard, but each chessboard added countless variables, and many of the original chess moves were no longer possible."
Fang Xuanling left first in this game, and he moved the cannon first and attacked the winger. As soon as he came up, he stared at Zhang Chao's side and fought. In the end, the two sides were in a difficult position to kill on the side, and they exchanged two cannons, one car and one horse.
At the end of this game, there were only a few pawns left.
The pawn crossing the river could not turn back. Facing the other side's elephant, he could only move horizontally in front of the elephant, and never dared to go down. Once he moved forward, he would definitely die and would not retreat again.
In this game, because both of them are unwilling to push the pawn down. Whoever can't calm down and move forward will lose the pawn. Without the pawn, they may lose.
After re-setting the chess, Zhang Chao took back the pawn who crossed the river and said with a smile, "I think I am the one who crossed the river now. There are advances but no retreats, and there are enemies on all sides."
Fang Xuanling talked a lot today, "You are both the cannon and this baron. As long as you are more cautious, even if you are in the Eastern Palace, you don't have to be afraid. In the Eastern Palace, no matter what kind of thing you encounter, you must be careful and not be impulsive. I see that although you are young, you are sometimes too mature. In the Eastern Palace, don't rush to perform or not. I think you are pretty good now. After taking so many days off, you don't rush to go to the Eastern Palace to get close to the prince. It's great to do this."
After all, Zhang Chao had no contact with the prince, but had some relationship with the King of Qin. And there was also an adoptive father who was the general of the King of Qin. If the prince transferred Zhang Chao to the Eastern Palace, Zhang Chao would be so anxious that he would be counterproductive, which would arouse the prince's vigilance.
Hanging it like Zhang Chao for a while has dispelled this doubt.
"The King of Qin is actually looking at your current performance with admiration. You quietly wrote out the Three-character Classic Bailu Academy and the Zhang family rules. Now you have been working on it for another three thousand years, and you have even compiled the official history."
Zhang Chao smiled, "I just don't want to be too deeply involved with the East Palace."
"You do this well, don't be anxious. The more you are anxious, the easier it is to reveal flaws. You should be your mountain leader in the academy and compile a history by the way. Keep a more detached attitude, which will make the East Palace believe you more easily. Take your time, you are the pawn crossing the river now, and you must keep this in mind. Every time you take a step, you can't turn back."
"By the way, the three thousand years you have written are really just historical stories. But the Zizhi Tongjian you wrote really shocked me, and many others such as Qin. No one expected that you actually understand history so much, not just simply record history, but have such profound insights. Taking history as a guide, the King of Qin had a high evaluation after reading it, and was so excited that he slapped the table and slapped his hands with swollen hands."
Li Jiancheng said that he would promote Zhang Chao's Zizhi Tongjian, and he did what he said. He immediately asked someone to copy many copies of the manuscripts handed over by Zhang Chao, and then distributed them everywhere to circulate them. He even asked the teachers of Imperial College to specifically add Zhang Chao's manuscripts to the teaching content.
"You can study your history with peace of mind. The better your history book is, the more your reputation will become, the more the prince will cherish your talent and reputation, trust and use you more. At that time, you will be more substantial in speaking in the East Palace."
"You don't need to tell us everything you know in the East Palace. We have to reduce our meetings in the future. Even if we meet like this now, we must try to avoid it. If we want to meet, it is best to use other methods. You should come to this house less in the future."
"Don't I have to pass on the message?" Zhang Chao asked.
"Good steel must be used on the blade. How can you be exposed easily if you are so important? We still have some eyeliners in the East Palace, so we naturally have ways to know the general news. You can only use it when it is the most critical time. It is not extremely important news, you don't need to take risks." Fang Xuanling, the contact person, is still very dedicated.
The King of Qin attached great importance to Zhang Chao and told him to try his best to protect Zhang Chao's identity.
Zhang Chao lowered his head and suddenly no longer had the intention to play chess again. The chess game between the prince and the King of Qin had already been set up, and he was already on the chessboard.
Fang Xuanling held a chess piece and gently hit the board, "You must first protect yourself, keep your identity, and then consider other things. You are quite famous now. As long as you do not reveal your identity, the prince will not touch you. As long as you continue to edit the Zizhi Tongjian, your reputation will become greater and greater, and this reputation will also be a good protection for you."
When Zhang Chao came today, he thought that after seeing Fang Xuanling, the contact person, Fang Xuanling, would convey Li Shimin's instructions and ask him to do some information about the prince.
But he obviously misunderstood. He was just a small piece on the chessboard, but he was already a very precious pawn crossing the river, and an undercover pawn hidden in the Eastern Palace. Li Shimin would not use him easily and waste him. He would use him at the most critical moment. In the words of Fang Xuanling, this is called using steel on the blade.
Zhang Chao smiled.
He didn't know whether he should be happy or what he should be happy.
Maybe I should be happy, after all, I am of high value in Li Shimin's eyes. Moreover, in this way, I don't have to think about completing tasks or something, and he can do his own things with peace of mind. Until the critical moment, Li Shimin will not look for him easily.
If he keeps his identity confidential, he can be a prince to be a horse-washing person with peace of mind, and even take advantage of the opportunity of studying history to stay in Zhangjiagou and never come to Chang'an City often.
Zhang Chao chuckled and said to Fang Xuanling, "I thank King Qin for his concern for me, and thank Uncle Fang."
"Does the King of Qin have any statements about my adoptive father's resignation?" Zhang Chao asked again.
"What can I make a statement? What is it necessary? Shubao has been in the Qin Palace for more than two days, but more than two years. For two years, Shubao has fought with the King of Qin. Isn't he clear about what the King of Qin treats him? And Shubao's loyal nature is not clear about the King of Qin." He smiled, "Even if the prince intends to take the opportunity to transfer the general of the Qin Palace, he is destined to find the wrong person this time. In fact, Shubao's current exodus from the Qin Palace is not a bad thing for the King of Qin, but a good thing. Shubao is transferred to the governor of Tongzhou and the general of the Yulin Army. Our Qin King's foreign aid is even stronger."
There has always been a group of foreign players outside Li Shentong, Li Daoxuan, Qu Tutong, Liu Hongji, Yin Kaishan, and Li Shimin's Qin Palace. Now Qin Qiong is also making external calls, but this is not a bad thing for Li Shimin. Instead, it has made his foreign players stronger.
However, Li Shimin's trust in Qin Qiong and his confidence still made Zhang Chao admire him. When he encountered this situation, he did not suspicion or worry randomly, but expressed enough trust. If he was Qin Qiong, he would probably be very happy.
That night, Zhang Chao and Fang Xuanling chatted in the study until very late. It was not until the third update in the middle of the night that everything was silent. Zhang Chao smiled and said goodbye to Fang Xuanling, put on his cloak and quietly left the Fang Mansion, and quietly returned to his house.
That night, Zhang Chao slept very peacefully in this mansion and slept until dawn!
