After Li Ke left, the Taoist priest sat back on the stone bench in the pavilion and looked down at the chessboard.

Originally, the Taoist priest was attracted by the literati's chess and filled all his chess pieces at the corner. After getting Li Ke's point, when he looked at the chessboard again, as Li Ke said, Bai Zi's siege had been penetrated by Hei Zi, from Tianyuan to hundreds of digits, Bai Zi was surrounded by Hei Zi, and the power of slaying dragons was only between several digits, and Bai Zi was really defeated.

"This young man is really not bullying me. Brother Cen is about to kill the dragon. The winner is indeed determined in this game. Brother Cen is admired by his chess skills." The Taoist shook his head gently and sighed.

The scholar smiled and said, "It is difficult to reach the elegant hall of elegance by the small tricks of carving and insects, and it is not as good as Brother Yuan's technique of identifying the style and breaking stars."

After hearing the scholar's words, the Taoist priest smiled bitterly and said, "Although Go is small, it hides the universe. I think that although Yuan Tiangang is good at looking at the hexagrams, he can know unknown things, but even a young man is not as good as this black and white way."

The Taoist priest who was nearly fifty years old was Yuan Tiangang, the direct disciple of Taoist Qiyun, the master of Xuandu Temple. The middle-aged scholar who played chess with Yuan Tiangang was named Cen Wenben. He was appointed as a Bie Jia of Jingzhou and was a doctor of the Taiwan test. He was a good friend of Yuan Tiangang. This time, he was invited by Yuan Tiangang to stay in Xuandu Temple for a short stay.

Cen Wenben seemed quite interested in the sudden appearance of Li Ke.

Cen Wenben tapped the chessboard with his index finger and said to Yuan Tiangang: "This young man is very young, but his chess and eyesight is not weak. He is also quick and generous in his behavior. Li, Yang, Wei, and Du, I don't know which family of Guanzhong is the talent."

Seeing that Li Ke was dressed in extraordinary clothes and behaved properly, Cen Wenben was not a young man taught by ordinary people. He just thought it was his origin in family education, so he guessed that Li Ke was from the Guanlong family.

Yuan Tiangang looked at Cen Wenben and chuckled: "This young man is not a child of an ordinary family, he has a very big background."

Listening to Yuan Tiangang's meaning, Cen Wenben had obviously guessed Li Ke's identity. Cen Wenben asked curiously: "Does Brother Yuan know who this young man is?"

Yuan Tiangang nodded and replied, "Brother Cen still remembers the Xuanwu Sect assassination case five days ago?"

Cen Wenben had some misunderstandings about Li Ke's identity, but now he heard Yuan Tiangang say this and immediately understood.

Cen Wenben was a separate leader in Jingzhou. This time, he went to Beijing together under the order of the command of the Jingzhou Grand Governor Li Xiaogong. He was also a member of the officialdom. How could he not know that the assassination case in the palace shocked the court and the public?

Cen Wenben's eyebrows were lightly locked and four words were spit out of his mouth: "Li Ke, the Prince of Hanzhong?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "Six days ago, the Hanzhong County Prince was assassinated in the palace and was unconscious for several days. The prince's concubine Yang once went to Guanzhong to ask for a wish, and today he was fulfilling his wish. The Hanzhong County Prince is possessed by the royal bloodline of the Sui and Tang dynasties. After Li and Yang, such a noble family is not comparable to that of ordinary families."

Li Ke's grandfather was Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and his grandfather was Yang Guang, the last emperor of the Sui Dynasty. He had a noble status, so there was no need to say anything more. But when Cen Wenben listened to Yuan Tiangang's words, he felt a little strange.

Cen Wenben asked: "In the past, the emperor raised an army from Taiyuan. When he first occupied Guanzhong, he invited you to meet several princes. You just shirk your refusal and didn't say a word. How could you praise the princes of Hanzhong today?"

Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, "If I had reported it to you, would I still be able to have a chess with Brother Cen here today? I'm afraid I should have had a different body and head long ago."

Cen Wenben said in confusion: "Now the crown prince is in his prime and is about to ascend the throne. The ages of the princes are not much different. The dispute over the throne is even worse than that of that year. Isn't Brother Yuan worried about being involved?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "You and I have been friends for more than ten years, and we have a close relationship. Today's affairs are known to heaven and earth. If you know me and I know, what are you worried about? Moreover, what I say to you must be with him."

Hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, a trace of brilliance appeared in Cen Wenben's eyes and his expression was correct.

"Is the change you mentioned the day before yesterday referring to the Prince of Hanzhong?" Cen Wenben asked suddenly.

Yuan Tiangang nodded and said seriously: "Six days ago, on the night when the prince of Hanzhong was assassinated and was unconscious, Ziwei Star did not move, but Taiwei Star changed hands all night. What's the point? Can't Brother Cen still see it?"

Taiweixing and Ziweixing are one of the three walls. Ziweixing is the master of the emperor's destiny, while Taiweixing is the chief of the crown prince. The so-called Taiwei change of ownership is naturally a sign of the change of crown prince.

Although Cen Wenben is not good at this, he has been with Yuan Tiangang for many years and naturally knows a little about it after being influenced by his eyes.

Cen Wenben asked: "This is a big deal that concerns the world. You may be sure of it?"

"I'll definitely win it, otherwise the master wouldn't have entered the mountain overnight to avoid him. You must know that if a person who is transformed from the outside world has to accept Taiweixing's worship, he will have to break the Taoist practice." Yuan Tiangang replied decisively.

Cen Wenben looked at Yuan Tiangang's sure look and suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Thirteen years ago, you met me and said bluntly that I was not worthy of my bones. Although my career can be smooth, it is difficult to live long. But when you see you today, you also said that I have received the kindness of noble people, and my fate has changed. Maybe I can get the joy of my children and grandchildren around my knees. Is it because of this?"

Yuan Tiangang said: "Yes, two months ago, the Xuanwu Gate mutiny was in chaos, and the prince died without such a scene, but the prince of Hanzhong was assassinated. It is no coincidence that such a mystery."

As Cen Wenben listened, his expression became more and more serious, and he asked, "The celestial phenomena change, besides you, I'm afraid the Taishi Bureau will also notice it."

Yuan Tiangang stood up, lightly wiping his short beard under his jaw, and said confidently: "It has been a lot of trouble recently. The court has changed suddenly and the throne has changed. Such an obscure statue of heaven, except for Master and me, there is no third person in the world who can calculate it. How can those corpse positions of Taishi Bureau be seen? If you and I were not the best friends, and your life span is closely related, I would never have revealed a word."

------------

Inside the temple, Yuan Tiangang and Cen Wenben were still talking about Li Ke's assassination a few days ago, while outside the temple, Li Ke had already boarded the carriage and returned to the palace with Concubine Yang.

"Empress, it's a pity that you haven't seen it with your own eyes just now. Xiao Lang was watching Yiqi in the audience just now. The layout that Taoist priest had not seen for a long time was revealed by Xiao Lang. It was really very good." Although Ping'er didn't understand Go, Li Ke showed off his power in the audience just now and was happy from his heart. As soon as he got on the carriage, he told Concubine Yang.

Li Ke was young, but Concubine Yang didn't know that he was good at playing Go, but after hearing Ping'er's words, she still held Li Ke beside her and asked softly: "Oh? I don't know when Hutou learned Go skills."

Li Ke sat aside with Concubine Yang, scratched his head and replied, "I have just studied with several gentlemen in Hongwenguan for a while, and that can be called "Thank you". I'm just a bystander. If I go to play chess, I'm afraid I'm not as good as the Taoist priest."

After hearing this, Concubine Yang looked down at Li Ke and said, "Mom knows some chess. If you have time to go to the future, you can play chess with your mother for two games."

"Okay, then Ke'er will teach you more." Li Ke said, slowly stood up, and sang a promise to Concubine Yang like those scholars.

Li Ke deliberately played tricks, because he was worried that Concubine Yang would be in a dull mood after coming out of the gym, so he specially made fun and asked Concubine Yang to smile.

Seeing that Yang Fei was like this, she laughed out loud: "Looking at you like this, can you also learn from those scholars and take the imperial examination for the Jinshi? You should sit down quickly, so that the road will not be bumpy, and you will fall again."

Concubine Yang said, pulling Li Ke and sitting down next to her.

Sure enough, Concubine Yang's concerns were not completely unreasonable. As soon as Li Ke sat down, the carriage suddenly stopped. If Li Ke was standing, he might have fallen.

"What's going on outside?" Yang Fei asked when she saw the carriage stop.

The driver who drove outside the car replied, "Report to the Queen, it was the Jinwu Guard who was ordered to patrol the streets. The Queen was waiting for a while. The villain had already informed the Queen of the Queen of the identity and ordered the order to be released."

This carriage was a carriage from the East Palace. When Jinwu Guard inspected, he naturally did not dare to find Li Ke.

Li Ke was fine, but he was not in a hurry. He slowly lifted the curtain of the car and looked out the car. He saw that the Zhuque Street was covered with soldiers from the Jinwu Guard, and he checked the people and others one by one, which was very strict.

Li Ke knew that this must be the time when Li Shimin ascended the throne, and the remnants of the princelings were in chaos and the whole city was on guard.
