Chapter 159: Chess Crazy Zhao Jun

In the towering Chuigong Hall of the Great Song Dynasty Palace, Zhao Xu sat behind the Dragon Case with his chin in his hand, staring at the blue sky outside the window, and just finished handling today's government affairs, and he had nothing else to do, so he seemed a little bored at this time, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind. After a while, Zhao Xu suddenly sighed and said, "I don't know where his ship has arrived. Have you found the American continent?"

"Fifth brother, don't worry about the elder brother. When he left Europe, Uncle Third must have made complete preparations for him. However, this world is too big. If you want to bypass most of the earth from Europe and reach our Song Dynasty, it will be difficult to get back in less than a year or two." Zhao Jun held a chess piece in his hand and knocked on the chessboard and smiled at Zhao Xu. He has been a chess nerd since he was a child and has always been chess. Even if he came to the palace to visit Zhao Xu, he still asked Zhao Xu to play chess with him.

"I don't play. I haven't beat you once since I was eight years old. You have been concentrating on chess skills over the years. I have heard that even a few national players are not your opponent. I, a half-baked player in Go, aren't you trying to abuse yourself?" Zhao Xu refused without thinking about it when he heard about playing chess.

Originally, Zhao Xu was very lonely after becoming emperor, especially after Zhao Jia and his third uncle Zhao Yan went to Europe one after another, he became even more lonely. Even Zhao Xin, Zhao Qi and other brothers left Beijing one after another. Usually, he couldn't even find someone to talk. Fortunately, his third brother Zhao Jun stayed in the capital for recuperation because he was not in good health since childhood, so he went to Zhao Jun's mansion when he had time. After the exchanges, Zhao Jun naturally wanted to come to the palace to visit his younger brother, so the two brothers were very close during this period.

"Even if you don't play, your chess skills are really not up to the table anyway. I have to find a way to give in to you, so that you will lose not that ugly." Zhao Jun smiled when he heard Zhao Xu's rejection. He did not regard Zhao Xu as an emperor at all. Instead, he treated him as his younger brother as before, but this also made Zhao Xu very happy, because only by getting rid of his identity as an emperor can he communicate with others normally. Unfortunately, most people cannot see through this point. This is also the main reason why he, as the emperor, cannot even find a person who speaks. Fortunately, his third brother, Zhao Jun, is not such a person, and this is what he discovered recently.

The two brothers made a few jokes, and then Zhao Xu suggested going out for a walk. Zhao Jun just finished the game. So he threw down his chess piece and walked out of the Chugong Hall with Zhao Xu. The weather was good today, and the sky was blue, and even a cloud was not visible. It was even rarer to have no wind. This was very rare in Tokyo, so Zhao Xu also felt very excited. He came to the back garden with Zhao Jun. As a result, all kinds of flowers in the garden were blooming brightly at this time, which made people feel even more relaxed and happy.

"What a beautiful imperial garden. I didn't think of it when I was in the palace. But after leaving the palace, I also built a garden in my mansion, but I always felt it was a little worse. Now when I return to the palace, it is indeed much more beautiful." At this time, Zhao Jun looked at the imperial garden in front of me and sighed.

"Haha, no matter how beautiful the garden is, there will be a day when you get tired of it. It's like a beauty. No matter what kind of beauty you have seen for a long time, it will feel very ordinary. And no matter how beautiful the garden is, it is still in my eyes, but in my eyes, it still cannot be compared with the beautiful scenery outside." Zhao Xu smiled helplessly when he heard Zhao Jun's words. In the past, he would only say these complaints in front of Zhao Yan and Zhao Jia, but now there is another Zhao Jun.

When he heard Zhao Xu's words, Zhao Jun smiled, but did not speak immediately. Instead, he slowly said: "Fifth brother, everyone has their own destiny. When the third uncle chose you as the heir to the throne, you will be destined to lose something. My elder brother and I have lost the qualification to inherit the throne, but we have gained freedom. Now we are all adults and our respective destiny has been fixed, so there is no need to worry about what we are destined to get!"

Zhao Jun's words are very bold. If others are allowed to listen to them, they may suspect that he has ulterior motives. However, what Zhao Xu wants to hear the most is that others tell the truth to him, and he has always attached great importance to family affection, so he did not feel that Zhao Jun's words were wrong. Instead, he felt that Zhao Jun was talking about his own heart.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Xu was silent for a long time after hearing this. After a while, he finally said, "San brother, you are right. Uncle and elder brother have persuaded him like this before, but they said it more tactfully. I was too young at that time, so I didn't understand these things. However, when I heard your words today, I fully understood it."

"Haha, fifth brother, you don't have to be polite to me. Among our brothers, you are the smartest, so even if I don't talk about these principles, you will definitely understand them." Zhao Jun paused and then smiled, "In addition, I heard that you are going to Fengshan, Taishan, and the eldest brother has already gone to Taishan to help you stand before the battle. When this Fengshan is successful, you will definitely be famous like Qinhuang and Hanwu!"
