Zhu Houzhao nodded, turned to Zhang Yanling and said: "Uncle, this time it was Yang Shoufu and the others who helped me make up my mind. In fact, I was still very worried before, and I was afraid that I would make the wrong decision. But now it seems that things are going very smoothly.
Uncle, I am really happy now. Uncle has opened up the sea trade.
line, the Ming Dynasty is now full of vitality. Jiang Bin said that the discussions that Jin Yiwei heard from the people in the capital and local areas were all very positive about the court's new policies, and the atmosphere had a completely new look. This step is definitely the right one.
I can see all the hard work and blood and sweat my uncle has put into this."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "This is what I should do. It is my duty to work for the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and smiled, looked at Yang Tinghe and said: "I am also very surprised that the officials of the outer court can seize the opportunity again this time and propose the idea of recovering the Hetao. Now that Baichengzi has won a great victory, my 200,000-strong army will soon chase the remnants of the enemy and sweep across the Hetao.
We will soon be able to regain the land of the Loop and complete it.
It is the long-cherished wish of all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. I am really very happy. What makes me most happy is that you and the imperial family can work together to make suggestions for the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty. I am very touched. There are so many loyal and capable ministers in this dynasty. I
The great cause of Ming Dynasty and ZTE is just around the corner."
Yang Tinghe bowed and said: "I have devoted myself to death and died."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "You are all loyal ministers, and you are all virtuous ministers and generals who helped me revitalize the Ming Dynasty. I have decided that when the Ming Dynasty is restored, I will follow the example of Taizu Emperor Gao and reopen the meritorious temple. All for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.
The best among the loyal ministers and generals who have served, such as my uncle and Yang Shoufu, will all be worthy of it. Their descendants will be extremely honored and admired by the world."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I don't dare to ask for meritorious service. I just hope that I can do my best for the Ming Dynasty and live up to the trust and love of the Emperor and the people of the Ming Dynasty." Yang Tinghe bowed and said.

Zhang Yanling stood there expressionless, looking at Zhu Houzhao's heartfelt expression of joy without saying a word.
He could see that the plan to send troops to Hetao this time must have touched the soft spot in Zhu Houzhao's heart that wanted to become a holy king.
After experiencing constant turmoil and rebellion, chaotic government affairs, and various incidents that tarnished his dignity in the past eight or nine years, Zhu Houzhao was so eager for an opportunity to reverse his image of being dim and incompetent.
The reason why Yang Ting and others were able to propose such a risky plan this time, and even allow Zhu Houzhao to approve it, was that it fit Zhu Houzhao's psychological weakness at the moment, making Zhu Houzhao unable to refuse.
Zhang Yanling's eyes moved to the chess game next to him. Zhu Houzhao actually played Go with Yang Tinghe. This was something that would never happen before. Although Yang Tinghe was once Zhu Houzhao's minister in the prince's palace, he was considered Zhu Houzhao's teacher.
He had never been so close to Yang Tinghe that they played chess together.
Zhu Houzhao originally didn't like entertainment methods like playing chess. This boring entertainment method was not suitable for him. But it was incredible that Yang Tinghe had the ability to sit here and play chess with him.
Yang Tinghe is amazing! This is not sarcastic, Zhang Yanling really thinks that Yang Tinghe is very powerful. He is always able to seize opportunities and pretend to be very good, making people like him and act according to his ideas. The Queen Mother
So it is obviously the same with the emperor now.
Being able to make Zhu Houzhao sit down and play chess with him is Yang Tinghe's skill. He can capture the psychology of others and make them change their behavior without knowing it, and become Yang Tinghe's prey.
Yang Tinghe stood aside, always paying attention to Zhang Yanling's expression. When he saw Zhang Yanling staring at the chess game, Yang Tinghe smiled slightly and spoke.
"Does the Protector also know how to play Go? The emperor is in a good mood today and the weather is good. I will accompany him to play a game of chess. The emperor is very knowledgeable. He has only been learning chess for more than ten days and has already made rapid progress, which is beyond the comparison of ordinary people."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "I am not your opponent at all. If you hadn't said that playing Go can stabilize your mind and practice concentration, I wouldn't have bothered."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao turned to Zhang Yanling and said, "Uncle, you don't know. Yang Tinghe told me that during the Battle of Feishui, when the Jin Dynasty's 80,000-strong Beifu Army faced the attack of Fu Jian's million-strong army, Commander Xie An could still
Play chess with the guests An Wen, not surprised by changes, talk
Laughter. I was anxious a few days ago because I was worried about the Hetao war. Yang Tinghe said that he wanted to play chess with me, saying that it could stabilize my mind. So I learned from him. Not to mention, it is really useful. I threw myself into the chess game, and it was indeed
It can calm my heart."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "It seems that Yang Shoufu has taken great pains to keep the emperor calm. Playing chess is something that uses your brain, and it is also a good entertainment. The emperor can play more chess, which can indeed cultivate his temperament. Maybe he can become a master of Go in the future.
Woolen cloth."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know my accomplishments in this area. Yang Tinghe gave me five pieces, but I am no match for him. In this area, my ability is limited. Can uncle know how to play chess?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "I learned chess when I was young, but I haven't played chess for many years."
Yang Tinghe chuckled and said, "Are you interested, Lord Protector? How about our next game?"
Zhang Yanling was about to refuse, but he heard Zhu Houzhao smile and say: "Okay, okay, you guys are playing a game, and I happen to be watching from the sidelines. With my uncle's wisdom, he must be a master in the way of Go. My uncle will kill Yang Tinghe for me."
.With my five sons, I can barely beat him."
Yang Tinghe smiled and said: "Okay, let's see what Duke Protector can do. Please, Lord Protector."
Zhang Yanling's knowledge of Go was limited to those in the interest classes in middle school when she was a child. Although she was praised by her tutor at the time, Gu Dali, a retired national Go player, as having talent. But her talent was obviously no match for the pressure of study. In the end, she learned two courses.
Years later, I gave up on continuing to learn the art of Go.
Zhang Yanling actually didn't know what his level of Go was. But of course he would not refuse Yang Tinghe's challenge. Yang Tinghe deliberately wanted to play a game of chess with him in front of the emperor, just to see how timid he was.

Psychologically speaking, letting the emperor see your imperfect side, or even your clumsy and incompetent side, can make your image in the emperor's mind a bit lower. This is actually a psychological hint.
Zhang Yanling doesn't care about this. Zhang Yanling will never show weakness to Yang Tinghe. All of this person's credit and bottom line have been bankrupted by Zhang Yanling. Zhang Yanling will view all his actions with the worst intentions. Although this is somewhat absolute
, but Zhang Yanling really thinks so.
"Okay, in that case, I will play a game of chess with Yang Shoufu." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Yang Tinghe chuckled and said, "Okay, please, Lord Protector."
Zhang Yanling and Yang Tinghe sat down on both sides of the chessboard, and Zhu Houzhao also sat aside with interest, holding the water heater to warm his hands, waiting to watch the game.
After Yang Tinghe sat down, he smiled and said: "Guo Guo Gong, I don't know how good you are at chess. But if you need it, I can give you two pieces."
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said: "Okay, this is what you said on your own initiative, not what I asked for. Then let me have two sons."
Yang Tinghe rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I was just joking. The Protector may be a master at this, but Tinghe may not be your opponent. How dare you make such false claims about giving up your son? No, no."
Zhang Yanling sneered in her heart. This guy's original intention was to humiliate himself, but he was afraid that he would no longer be his match after giving in the two sons. So he immediately regretted it. This shows his cunning and hypocritical mentality.
"That's fine, then I won't let it go. But I need to go first. After all, Yang Shoufu is good at this art, and he is older than me. He has been immersed in it for many years, so he has to give it to me," Zhang Yanling said.

In Go, black and white stones are played alternately, and according to the rules, black stones go first. The one who moves first has an advantage. This is a well-known fact. Zhang Yanling wanted black to move first, but he was not polite at all.
"Guoguo Gong, the way of Go is regardless of age. There is a saying: In the way of Go, if you are not a national player at the age of twenty, there will be no hope for all living beings. The meaning is that the younger you are in this way, the more advantage you have. Protect the country
My husband is much younger than me and has an advantage over me. So it’s my turn to take the lead." Yang Tinghe didn’t give in at all and said with a smile.
"That's all, let's guess first!" Zhang Yanling waved her hand, reached out and fiddled with the white chess pieces in the jar, clenched her fist and stretched it out to the chessboard.
The so-called guess first is a rule where one party guesses the odd or even number of the number of chess pieces in the opponent's hand to determine who will move first. Zhang Yanling grabbed the chess pieces in his hand and asked Yang Tinghe to guess. If he guessed correctly, he would win.
Yang Tinghe went first to play black. He guessed wrong, it was Zhang Yanling who went first to play black.
Yang Tinghe smiled slightly, picked up a black piece and placed it on the chessboard. This kind of thing depends entirely on luck. There is no need to worry about the ratio of 50 to 50. It all depends on God's will. He took out a chess piece, which meant
Singular.
Zhang Yanling laughed and slowly opened his fingers. There was nothing in his hand.
"You guessed wrong, it's not an odd number. The ego is black first." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Yang Tinghe frowned and said: "If you don't take the chess pieces, how can I guess the odd and even numbers? You are cheating."
Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "Who stipulates that you must take out the chess pieces? Is there a chess book that says you must hold the chess pieces in your hand? Can you bring it to me and let me take a look?"
Yang Tinghe frowned and glared at Zhang Yanling. Zhang Yanling looked at Yang Tinghe nonchalantly with a smile on his face. Yang Tinghe thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "There is indeed no express rule, you win."

Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and said: "Interesting, interesting. My uncle is really cunning in doing this. Although it is a bit cunning, since there is no explicit rule, it does not break the rules. How wonderful."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "The emperor has given me a reward."
Zhang Yanling reached out and picked up a white stone, and hit it on a point on the chessboard with a snap. When he saw where the black stone landed, Yang Tinghe's expression changed drastically, and Zhu Houzhao's laughter stopped abruptly.
