Until now, we have been saying a sentence, that is, "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", this statement is not empty. We all know that in ancient times, the emperor was the head of a country, and their authority was inviolable, of course, the courtiers in ancient times were also well versed in the way of being an official, and they touched the emperor's temperament, the law of life, and so on thoroughly, otherwise whether they could live or not was two words.
In ancient times, playing chess was almost the only way for people to have fun, because at that time, they didn't want to be so technologically advanced now. But you don't look at this small chessboard, in fact, it contains a lot of knowledge, especially when playing chess with the emperor, it is even more necessary to take a step by step, take a wrong step, and you will "lose all the games". For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, he would often find Xu Da, a famous chess player at that time, to play chess.
Xu Da is well versed in the way of being a subject, he deliberately loses to Zhu Yuanzhang every time he plays chess, for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang feels that something is wrong, let him show his real strength, and later Xu Da, who showed real strength, found that Zhu Yuanzhang's face became more and more ugly after winning Zhu Yuanzhang several times. Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to have a seizure, he noticed that the flag on the chessboard turned out to be the word "Long Live", and immediately dissipated his anger, and also specially built a winning chess tower for this matter.
It can be seen that playing chess with the emperor is like reading with the crown prince, and it is impossible to do without some emotional intelligence. But during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a bodyguard who was playing chess with Kangxi, and he also won Kangxi! After 10 days, his body was found in the wilderness, what was the situation? The thing is, in 1698 AD, the Kangxi Emperor led hundreds of officials to the Mulan Paddock to hunt, and when he rested halfway, his chess addiction was great, so he asked the minister Li Guangdi to accompany him to play chess.
Of course, the clever Li Guangdi could not win him, and when he played chess, he was let everywhere, and every time it was Kangxi who won. After a while, Kangxi felt that it was not interesting, and he won every one, so he told the people around him that whoever could win would be promoted, and there was also a golden hundred and two. At this time, a guard named Na Fu stood up and wanted to accompany Kangxi to play chess. Don't look at him as a warrior, chess skills are also very good, seeing that he is about to win, the ministers are smarter than him, knowing that he will suffer if he wins, just tell Kangxi that there is a tiger on the mountain where he just hunted.
Kangxi was very angry, so he ordered the guard not to leave the chessboard until he returned, and he took the ministers to hunt. Until dark, Kangxi felt tired and went straight back to the palace. Ten days later, when Kangxi passed by the place again, he found that the bodyguard was long dead. Because he obeyed Kangxi's orders, until he starved to death, he did not leave the chessboard for half a step. Kangxi was ashamed of this, the sentence "If a king has no faith, why should he be a king?" "That's what it comes from.
