The Keju League has begun to officially collect tickets, and it starts every two, five, and eighth, and plays nine games a month.

At present, there are only eight teams, namely: Wenbao Team, Xiliu Team, Nanying Team, Jinyi Team, Wutai Team, Zhangjia Team, Yongan Team, and Qiyun Team.

Wen Leopard is the money leopard, and there is one in the leopard room, and the Wen Leopard team is obviously Zhu Houzhao's team.

Zhu Houzhao suffered a second illness in the middle of the year, and listed the 6,000 soldiers trained by Wang Yuan as a separate battalion as the fine willow battalion, and the team to which he belonged was the fine willow team.

The 6,000 soldiers trained by Zhang Yong, temporarily named Nanying, also came to join in the fun and play football, not seeking to achieve much good results, anyway, just accompany the emperor to have fun.

The rest of the teams, except for the Jinyi team, which was made by Qian Ning, were all built by nobles, relatives, businessmen and folk juju lovers.

Wang Yuan held an extra-long wooden box and rode to the court in a carriage.

Today, there is a team of leopards participating in the competition, and the emperor will come!

paid for the tickets, Wang Yuan paced to the audience, and waited for a moment to see Zhu Houzhao who was out of the city.

Zhu Houzhao went straight to the Tianzi private room, that is, a few seats in the center of the front row due north, which were specially circled to form an independent viewing table. In addition, there are ground numbers, Xuan numbers, yellow numbers, etc., these private rooms are expensive, and it costs at least ten taels of silver to watch a game.

The seats in the back row are very cheap, only half a dollar, and even the small people in Shengdou can afford it.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Yuan walked into the private room.

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "Wang Erlang is also here, sit down!" ”

There are a total of nine private rooms in Tianzihao, in addition to Zhu Houzhao, there are Qian Ning, Li Ying and a eunuch.

Wang Yuan sat down next to the emperor, and the long wooden box he was holding in his hand was extremely conspicuous.

Zhu Houzhao asked: "Erlang is holding a weapon in his hand?" ”

"Divine Mirror." Wang Yuan said.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly became interested: "But the microscope has been made?" ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, what the minister holds in his hand is the Ten Thousand Miles Divine Mirror. ”

"Can you see things thousands of miles away?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"Not bad." Wang Yuan said.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to watch the game anymore, and couldn't wait to say: "Give it to me quickly, I want to watch the soldiers in front of me kill the enemy here!" ”

Wang Yuan explained: "Your Majesty, this Wanli Mirror can only see the scenery in the sky. Like, the moon! ”

"I see," Zhu Houzhao said, "that's just right, the sun is good today, let's see what the sun looks like." ”

Wang Yuan raised his forehead and asked, "Your Majesty, do you dare to look directly at the scorching sun?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "The morning sun and sunset can be seen directly, but the scorching sun at noon is easy to stab the eyes. ”

Wang Yuan reminded: "Using this magic mirror to observe the sun is a hundred times brighter than direct vision, and it can blind a person's eyes on the spot." ”

"I see." Zhu Houzhao looked around, he really wanted Qian Ning or Li Ying to try it.

Qian Ning and Li Ying pretended not to know, and looked intently at the center of the court, for fear that the emperor would really let them come.

There is a wooden platform on the side of the stadium, and a person sits on it as a commentator, holding an iron horn and shouting: "Audience, welcome to Xuanwu Stadium." In today's game, the Naiwen Leopards team played the Qiyun team......"

The players from both sides entered one after another, and although the spectator seats were not full, at least 3,000 people were watching the game.

Most of the advertising space in the stadium is empty, but there are also two businesses that advertise, which is a good start.

On the side of the private room, Zhang He was quite worried: "The Wen Leopard team is His Majesty's team, if we win, will we be questioned?" ”

"Probably not, I said it a long time ago, everything on the court is according to the rules." The man next to him comforted.

Zhang He is the grandson of the British Duke Zhang Mao, the eighth in the family, and a bunch of people must die in front of him before he is eligible to inherit the British dukedom. Since he can't attack the knight, he has opened up his joy, and he has no other hobbies, he just likes to bow since he was a child.

The emperor held a football league, and Zhang He gathered a group of football enthusiasts to form a team to participate in the competition.

The Qiyun team under Zhang He is the best player among all the teams! At the beginning, he was deflated for two games, but he quickly adjusted his tactics and no longer showed off his personal skills, so he won consecutive battles and ranked second in the league points.

The first team is the Hosanoyanagi team, whose personal skills are not outstanding, but the scramble can be called brutal, and they often receive yellow and red cards.

In less than a quarter of an hour after the opening game, I saw a player dribbling the ball continuously, and the football seemed to stick to his leg, and he scored directly with a world wave.

"Xinggoro, Xinggoro!"

The audience applauded and cheered, this player actually brought his own fans.

Xinggoro is extremely handsome, and tall, coupled with amazing ball skills, he is a proper No. 1 football star in Beijing.

Zhu Houzhao's face was a little unsightly, the royal team was actually ravaged at will!

Although Zhang He couldn't see the emperor's expression, he was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "Steady, steady, don't hit too hard, let two balls first." ”

Wang Yuan did not watch the game carefully, but quietly observed the surroundings, and he found that there were female dependents in the audience. Although the number is small, it is also in the double digits, which shows that the football league has attracted men, women and children - in fact, most of them belong to Qinglou women, who often rest during the day and just take time to watch the game.

The football star named Xinggoro is already famous in the Qinglou, and he doesn't have to pay for drinking flowers and wine.

Before the game was over, Zhu Houzhao left the field early, and he couldn't bear to watch it. He said to Li Ying: "That Xing Wulang, be sure to buy it, you can spend as much as you want!" ”

"Yes!" Li Ying received the order.

What the fuck is this still a transfer?

Wang Yuan reminded: "Your Majesty, this case cannot be opened, otherwise who would dare to play with the Wen Leopard team." ”

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said: "Don't take it as an example, this Xingwulang needs to be bought, and I can make him a hundred households of Jinyi Wei." ”

Nima, seal a player as a hundred households, I don't know how many officials have been impeached.

Wang Yuan followed the emperor to the leopard's room, dined together in the afternoon, and ate supper together in the evening, and finally waited until the moon rose.

"Your Majesty, please hold your back!" Wang Yuan said.

Although Zhu Houzhao didn't understand what he meant, he still blasted all the eunuchs away and observed the moon according to Wang Yuan's explanation.

Soon, the potholed scene came into Zhu Houzhao's eyes. He retracted his head suddenly, pressed the eyepiece with his hand, turned around and asked Wang Yuan, "This is the moon?" ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "It's the moon." ”

Zhu Houzhao observed carefully again, and was dumbfounded: "How can this be? ”

Wang Yuan said, "According to the minister's speculation, the moon should be a big ball floating in the void. The earth on which we stand is also a big ball floating in the void. ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhu Houzhao scolded.

Wang Yuan had already done his homework and said, "The earth is not only a sphere, but also rotating. Wang Bing of the Tang Dynasty commented on "Su Wen" and said; 'Looking at the eastward turn of the five stars, the reason for the left movement of the earth is clearly known. And again: 'The earth is under man, and he who is in the void is also.'" These are the records of the Emperor's Inner Canon, and the earth is a sphere in the void, and it moves from west to east. ”

Zhu Houzhao was silent.

Wang Yuan also said: "There is a cloud in the Book of Shang: 'The earth is constantly moving, but people do not know it, for example, people sit in a big boat, and the boat is unconscious. There is a cloud in "Liezi": "The operation has been beautiful, the earth is densely moved, and the domain is full of consciousness." The Han Dynasty's "Spring and Autumn Latitude" also contains: "The sky rotates left, and the earth moves right", and "the earth moves in the celestial phenomena". Successive generations of sages have discovered that the earth moves and rotates from west to east. ”

Zhu Houzhao finally spoke: "Maybe so." ”

Wang Yuan continued: "Since the earth is a sphere and rotates, why can't the moon be a sphere and rotate? Even the heavens and stars are all one sphere! ”

"Nonsense!" Zhu Houzhao was furious.

Wang Yuan muttered, "Including Wenqu Xing." ”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, his anger gradually subsided, and finally he actually laughed: "In this way, I am not Ziweixing descending to earth, and Erlang is not Wenquxing descending to earth?" ”

Wang Yuan arched his hand and said: "The emperor is granted by the mandate of heaven, how can Zi Weixing represent the mandate of heaven?" The minister just wants to ask Your Majesty, should this Wanli Divine Mirror be sealed here, or should it be handed over to the officials of Qin Tianjian? How to deal with it depends on Your Majesty's decision. ”

Zhu Houzhao walked around the courtyard and suddenly asked, "Can Qin Tianjian know that the earth and the moon are all one sphere?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "They must know, and they know better than the ministers, otherwise how can they speculate on the eclipse?" ”

Ancient Chinese astronomical officials were able to predict the exact time of a solar eclipse. Take Li Yuan, the Qintian supervisor at this time, for example, in a few years, he will be deducted by the emperor because of the number of days missing the predicted solar eclipse.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly shouted: "Call Qin Tianjian Li Yuan immediately!" ”
