Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2221 Flower War (One Hundred and Thirty)

   The Turkish text translated by the Imam records such a board game:

You stand silently on both sides of the river, playing a game of chess the size of the world. On this huge chessboard, light and shadow draw the checkerboard, and your shadow moves in it, making hope itself always in a state of change. middle,.

For you, a shadow is a hole without depth, representing a possibility that people call a plane. People are like peacocks who control their tail feathers with their eyes. Everyone has a shadow. When you notice them, they are like a transparent The gray fan bones of , folded into a bundle in an instant, disguised as the same. This is the only one left, marking the position where the move is about to be, until you fall, lie flat on it, change from one you to one you, and it is almost always inappropriate for you.

There are four kinds of chess pieces that you can drive, one flows, one rolls, one flies, and the other can only crawl, so you have four kinds of devils, four kinds of angels, four kinds of arrows, four kinds of sharp blades, and the sixteen kinds of wounds they make.

The    war drums beating directly on your eardrums, as light as the footsteps of a water strider walking on the water, but deafening and making you tremble.

Nick compares the chess played by the Yin Yin people with the chess played by many people in the back sea. There is also a "river" on the chessboard called "Chu River Hanjie". Black and red are on both sides of the "river". Chess pieces are composed of 7 types: chariots, horses, guns, pawns, soldiers, ministers, and generals. However, if we trace back in detail, the soldiers, ministers, and guns were added in the Song Dynasty. Japanese shogi are all shogi, and there are also Guima and Xiangche. In addition, shogi has been upgraded. Nick didn't learn it when he was in Japan. It was too complicated. It was easy to learn chess played by the elderly. He could understand it when he was watching.

  Chu Ci's Soul Calling states that "there are six books of chess covering chess". Maybe this kind of game existed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but there may not be "Chu River and Han Realm" at that time, and it will only be after the appearance of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. Generally, people who come to Houhai for a walk and play chess bring chess pieces carved from wood, and princes and nobles will use some materials such as jade and ivory.

  According to the records in the Book of Rites, jade of different materials and colors will also be used to worship heaven and earth. But how can chess made of jade be called chess? Unless it is the same as the black and red sides, one uses jade pieces and the other uses ivory pieces, so that even if there is no color word to distinguish, you can see each other's pieces at once.

  The pieces of shogi also have no color difference, but their pieces have directions. Of course, it is also possible that Nick is far-fetched. This is just an ordinary game.

   In the midsummer season, there are quite a lot of people who go to the shade of Houhai and Shichahai to enjoy the coolness, and some people sell iced sour plum soup, which is said to be especially popular in the palace. Before the Eight Banners entered the customs, fish was their staple food, and they invented sour soup, a food fermented from cornmeal to relieve oiliness. Later, this food was brought to the capital to bring them nutritious food in alpine regions. Fat is formed here, which is easy to cause obesity. When Emperor Qianlong ordered the adjustment of the dietary structure, finally the Imperial Tea Workshop and the Tai Hospital racked their brains to come up with the sour plum soup as a substitute for the sour soup.

  Emperor Qianlong had a thin body all his life, and he was thin and spirited, and Qinxi Baylor, who was playing with Nick these days, was the same. The **** always takes care to dress up carefully, his braids are the same as Cao Xi, that is, thick and long, down to the knees. However, this guy's braids are obviously not all real hair. He didn't wear a hat on such a hot day, which can be judged from the amount of hair at the top of his hair.

  With him accompanying Nick, you can avoid a lot of wrongful journeys. As long as you don’t enter the Forbidden City, you can pass through the imperial city, from the east city to the Shichahai area of ​​the west city. Otherwise, I don’t know how big a circle will be.

During this time, Nick has been looking for the Guanyin Temple near Zhenwu Temple, and his friend did not say whether it was south or north. There are now six Guanyin Temples with this name, two of which are still door-to-door, and one is very small. The bigger one is very small. If you add the name changed in the middle, I don’t know how many there are.

   He paid special attention to the trees in these "Guanyin Temple", they were all ordinary, and he really couldn't see any of them that could bloom magic flowers.

Nick planned to give up at one point, and then he got news from the palace that when Li Zicheng entered the capital, Emperor Chongzhen had already hanged himself in Meishan, but he did not "go on the road" alone. There was also a **** named Wang Chengen who was buried. For those who were hanged, their bodies were found hanging on a tree for three days. They were parked outside the Donghua Gate and placed in willow coffins.

When it was the Qing army's turn to enter the capital, they found that the dead old locust tree had grown new leaves, so the regent Dorgon nailed a sign to the tree with copper nails, and wrote "Ming Huaizong died for the country", and beat him with a whip. It, because of the crime of murder, also chopped off the new leaves of the "sinful locust" tree, and chained it with iron chains, just like a prisoner on a yoke. As for the begonia tree hanging by Wang Chengen next to him, no one cares. Whether it is Emperor Chongzhen looking for an **** to die for his burial, or Wang Chengen pulling people for company, don't look for our family! There are really people in the palace who go to worship, after all, it is better to die than live.

   "I'll just say why there's a tree demon, it's because of this."

The very critical old Juren sighed, and then told Nick "two kings and three characters". This is a ritual system that originated in the era of Yao, Shun, and Yu. All the dynasties of the previous dynasties awarded titles to the descendants of the previous royal family, but the previous royal family did not. Courtesy of ministers, and courtesy of guests.

  It is generally accepted that after the Ming Dynasty came the Qing Dynasty. Li Zicheng only served as the emperor for 42 days, so he could not be regarded as the previous royal family. Moreover, Li Zicheng was not killed by the Qing army, that is, the Dashun army at that time.

  The descendants of Li Zicheng are said to have yes, some say no, here we have to mention Chen Yuanyuan, who was "infuriated by the crown". In the description of the literati in the late Ming Dynasty, "this person is light and rhythmic, full of beauty, like a lonely man in the smoke".

   It is said that the tyrants and women who bring disaster to the country are all ghosts. Humans and ghosts have different paths. Of course, it is impossible to have children. In the legend, this peerless "person" does not seem to have given birth to children.

   Later, Nick followed this Baylor to see the old locust tree that Chongzhen hanged, but he didn't find the begonia that Wang Chengen hanged, because there were many begonias on the mountain, and no one had nailed wooden boards to that begonia.

  The flowering period of Begonia is generally April, and the day of Chongzhen's suicide was March 21st. Theoretically, the flower of Begonia has not yet bloomed, but no one can say for sure about the plant.

   Dead trees can germinate again, so why can't begonia bloom earlier? To die for the country in the company of the blooming begonias all over the mountains is a method of death that suits the status of the emperor.

Jingshan and the Forbidden City are separated by a moat. The Turks worship blue and think that it is the color represented by the "Longevity Heaven". Among the nomads, blue is also a noble color. In order to go up to the three flags, the inlaid blue flag was replaced, and XHQ and the Zhenghuang flag had a large number of people, and the other represented the royal family.

At present, where the admiral is located is the military camp of Zhengbaiqi. The Yongzheng Prince’s Mansion is located in the northeast corner of the inner city. After the Qing-Russian War, the Russian prisoners were brought to BJ, and they were placed in the northeast corner. Later, they built a church, and then Then there was the embassy.

   It was Yongzheng who ended the interference of powerful officials such as Dorgon and Aobai in government affairs, threatening the rule of the little emperor, and established the Military Aircraft Office.

   Of course, it is also possible that it was because of the presence of the Queen Mother Xiaozhuang that they supported the two little emperors, Shunzhi and Kangxi, to govern smoothly.

Nick couldn't help but think of that book again. When the magic flower bloomed and burrowed into the human body with vines, there was a one-armed **** who stored ten white elephants, ten black incense and ten black incense in his wrist. The giant power of the cow and ten white cows wielded the "different mud", and a three-eyed tiger was transformed from the hurricane that destroyed all things.

   This kind of plot also exists in Indian mythology, which is so exaggerated that it is unbelievable, and the one-armed **** described in this way is more like the one-armed, one-legged mandrill that later generations said.

   "How?" asked Bonaparte.

  Georgianna looked up at him.

   "Do you believe it?"

   It took him a while to answer "You don't think I should trust Margaret?"

  Georgianna rubbed her eyes, she needed time to think before she could give him an answer.
