There is a kind of cultivation called qinqi calligraphy and painting. The ancients said: "Those who are good at playing the piano are calm and calm, those who are good at chess are wise in planning, those who are good at writing are the most affectionate, and those who are good at painting are good at beauty." "In China, Qinqi calligraphy and painting is not only an important cultural component, but also a direct embodiment of a person's cultural literacy, from the emperor's civil and military officials to the literati and ordinary people, all of whom have a certain understanding and understanding of Qinqi calligraphy and painting. The story I want to tell today is inseparable from the "chess" in it.
Ai Xin Jueluo Xuanye, the Kangxi Emperor, ascended the throne at the age of 8, defeated the powerful minister Aobai at the age of 16 to regain power, then cut san francisco, collected Taiwan, drove out Tsarist Russia, strengthened the centralization of power, reigned for 61 years, created a peaceful and prosperous era, and was revered as "the first emperor of the ages".
However, such an imperial overlord once wrote a "sin edict" (a document for ancient emperors to introspect themselves or review their own mistakes) for a small bodyguard. What led to the emergence of this?
The story also begins in the 37th year of Kangxi, this year, the Kangxi Emperor led the palace ministers to the Mulan Hunting Ground, when passing through the Isun River, Kangxi saw the beautiful scenery here, decided to stay here for one night, and ordered the camp to be set up. When everyone was almost busy, Kangxi's chess addiction suddenly came up, and he quickly called the minister to play chess with him.
But to tell the truth, Kangxi's chess playing skills are indeed average, many ministers can easily win him, but the principle of "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger" everyone understands, who dares to win the emperor casually? Therefore, the ministers accompanying him were all "defeated" by Kangxi one by one, and Kangxi suddenly felt bored and even a little angry.
So he said, "Whoever wins will be rewarded with silver and will be promoted to the third rank." "This reward is a great temptation for anyone, but who dares to go out and take the reward?" Suddenly, anger plummeted to the freezing point, and seeing that Kangxi was about to get angry, a young guard came up and said that he wanted to play a game of chess with the emperor.
Kangxi asked, "What's your name?" Do you really know how to play chess? The bodyguard replied, "The little man's name is Na Renfu, and he has learned chess since he was a child." Kangxi nodded, signaling Na Renfu to come forward and play chess with him, and Na Renfu did not hesitate, and went straight up to start.
Unexpectedly, this little guard was skilled in chess, and soon gained the upper hand, and then ate most of Kangxi's chess pieces in a row, where Kangxi had been treated like this, his brow frowned slightly, and the ministers next to him were terrified, pinching a handful of sweat for that Renfu, and soon, Kangxi was "forced to a dead end".
At this juncture, Guo Jigong, the old eunuch who could most observe the color, shouted: "Emperor! There is a tiger on the opposite hill! When Kangxi heard this, he immediately stood up and said to Na Renfu, "Come when you go, you are waiting here, and when we come back, we will continue!" Then Kangxi hurried away, and Na Renfu honestly stayed where he was.
Of course, there was no tiger on the mountain at all, but fortunately there was a beautiful wild deer, Kangxi and his party chased it all the way over several hills, Kangxi an arrow past, ranked it in the middle, instantly overjoyed, happy to return to the camp to roast deer to eat, and forgot about playing chess.
More than ten days later, Kangxi returned from hunting and passed the Isun River again, which reminded him of the game of chess, and he quickly asked the eunuch next to him, where was Renfu? But no one could answer, Kangxi thought, no, is he still waiting for Yuan? When I went up the hill, Na renfu was still kneeling in the same place and had been dead for a long time. Kangxi was immediately remorseful and blamed himself: "If you have no faith, why should you be a king?" "And he wrote the edict of sin for the blessing of the man. From then on, Kangxi learned from it and never lost faith in others again.
