After returning from Emperor Li Yuan, Wu Shi Tong also found an opportunity to tell the Emperor that he wanted to see the two of them.

Before Li Qiu could speak, Wu Jue, who was sitting next to Wu Shi Tong, smiled slightly.

"Father, I think it's better to wait for the opportunity, you can take your daughter to visit the Emperor Taishang and his old man's house.

"Seeing that it is the end of the year, Brother Li Qiu has a lot of things to do here. "

Don't look at Wu Jue's age, but when it comes to political acumen, ordinary people are definitely not comparable to her.

Without waiting for Li Qiu to speak, she first helped Li Qiu reject this dangerous trip.

At the same time, she accompanied her father by herself, and also maintained her father's face and feelings.

In this way, you get the best of both worlds.

Seeing this, Samurai Tong couldn't help but smile and sigh in his heart: It is said that his daughter is extroverted, but now that I look at it, it is really so...

But at this time, Li Qiu said with a smile: "It's okay, let's go and see the Emperor Taishang together."

Listening to his words, Wu Jue on the side wanted to help him explain his sensitivity to the emperor.

Li Qiu smiled at her, "I'm just a county king who has no official position, only a title."

"What can happen

?" "And even if I don't go to see the Emperor Taishang and his old man, won't this group of scholars and ministers also not want to see me?"

Two days later, Wu Shi Tong took Li Qiu and Wu Jue to Da'an Palace again, asking to see the Emperor.

When the officials and guards at the gate let them go, Li Qiu and Wu Jue walked into the Da'an Palace.

The scene inside is simply beyond imagination!

This Da'an Palace is simply too broken and too small.

Not to mention that compared with Furong Garden, it is smaller than the general Guogong Mansion.

In ancient books, there have been relevant records of this Da'an Palace: the palace is relatively small, but there are beautiful mountains and forests.

It means that although there are landscapes, they are relatively small and dilapidated.

At the beginning of Zhenguan, even the Taiji Palace where Li Shimin lived had many places where wind and rain leaked, not to mention this Da'an Palace.

That is, thanks to the fact that Samurai Tong is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, with his own authority and convenience, he helped the Emperor Taishang repair the palace as much as possible.

Otherwise, this Da'an Palace would be even worse than what Li Qiu has seen now.

At the same time, there is another point that Li Qiu did not expect.

It is in this Da'an Palace, which covers a small area, that in addition to Emperor Li Yuan and his concubines, there are actually more than a dozen underage princes and princesses here.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, the crown prince Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were beheaded, and all the other princes were sent to various places.

And these underage princes and princesses, Li Shimin does not take the slightest care of them.

Let them live with the Emperor Taishang, and when they grow up, they will distribute the fate of various places.

Subsequently, Li Qiu and Wu Yu walked into the palace with Wu Shi Tong and met the Emperor Li Yuan.

The image of an old man with gray hair.

I had heard Samurai Tong mention it before, and before that incident, the Emperor Taishang was still in high spirits.

It's only been a year of hard work, and I'm getting old quickly.

It may have a lot to do with people's psychological and spiritual blows.

On the other side, from the perspective of Emperor Li Yuan, when he saw Li Qiu for the first time, the most intuitive feeling was that this child looked familiar.

And that feeling of affection and affection is absolutely real.

Later, after Li Qiu, Wu Jue and the others respectfully met, Li Yuan also looked at Li Qiu carefully, and said gently: "It's all exempt." "

Zixin, this is your precious girl and future

son-in-law Li Qiu?" "It's really a talented woman, and it's an extremely good match!" Hearing

the praise of the Emperor Taishang and the mention of the word son-in-law, Wu Jue's face was slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed.

And Li Qiu, when he saw this Empress Taishang, he also replaced and corrected the image he expected in his heart.

Before coming to Da'an Palace, listening to Wu Shitong's description and his own guesses, he thought that the current Emperor Li Yuan should be irritable, paranoid, and drunk, that kind of extreme image.

But when I look at it today, it is a very gentle, very eye-catching, mentally depressed old man image.

"Emperor Taishang, the kid came this time and didn't bring anything.

"It's just a little gift for your old man. So

saying, he asked the eunuch behind him to present his gift.

From the outside, it is a delicate rectangular box made of golden silk nanmu with a large area.

Seeing this thing, Emperor Li Yuan couldn't help frowning and becoming curious.

Now that he is claustrophobic in this Da'an Palace, he is also particularly interested in these new things.

Not only him, but even the two of them, Wu Shi Tong and Wu Jue, were just as curious, and they didn't know what it was.

Then, Li Qiu smiled and opened the delicate mechanism inside the box.

When it was fully unfolded, a chess board and delicate round chess pieces were revealed in front of them.

The real chess of later generations originated in the Song Dynasty.

The enlightenment of ancient chess, Baoying chess, also appeared in 700 AD.

Therefore, in the Zhenguan period, there was absolutely no such thing.

"Li Qiu, what is this?"

Looking at this never-before-seen chessboard and chess pieces, Li Yuan and Wu Shi Tong couldn't help but ask.

At this time, Li Qiu explained to them with a smile: "Emperor Taishang, uncle, this is called chess. "

I also made it recently, and the first chessboard in the world was used to honor the emperor." Hearing

Li Qiu's words, Li Yuan's heart was very happy.

After all, nowadays, the phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken.

He has become the character in Chang'an City, and no one treats him or compliments him anymore.

So Li Qiu's first chessboard in the world was given to him, and he was still very happy.

As for this chess, Li Qiu was similar to the later generations when he made it.

It's just that the cannon was changed to a stone word.

Explained that it was a trebuchet for siege.

As for the Chu River Han Realm, the soldiers have not changed much.

Subsequently, Li Qiu also gave them a live demonstration and explained the rules.

The chess game is still very simple, and soon, Li Yuan, Wu Shi Tong, and Wu Jue have mastered the rules.

The rest of the time, the Emperor Li Yuan and Wu Shi Tong played against each other, Li Qiu was the referee, and Wu Yu was watching carefully.

It is clear that she has a super high IQ and is very interested in this novel form of chess.

Before I knew it, the lunch meal had arrived.

But the next scene that happened made Li Qiu both surprised and annoyed!
