Chapter 101: Keju

"All the texts are also good, but there are few ancient texts. You can be more familiar with the articles of Sima Zichang and Han Hui. . . Zhao Ji took an article and explained it to Li Sanjian.

After Li Sanjian became a "glorious" palace staff, he didn't do anything, and he just read and practiced calligraphy every day.

Although Li Sanjian already knew that Duanwangfu had a lot of books, the prosperity of the palace's book collection still made Li Sanjian dumbfounded.

Books on astronomy, geography, arithmetic, water conservancy, medicine, the art of war, and so on are all about it.

In addition to this, there are also imperial court newspapers for various time periods.

And Li Sanjian is most interested in the art of war and the newspaper.

Li Sanjian, a former military enthusiast, suddenly became interested in military books at this time and felt extremely curious.

The military books of the Song Dynasty mainly include hundreds of military books such as "Seven Books of the Book of Martial Arts", "General Essentials of the Book of Martial Arts", "Biography of the Hundred Generals of the Seventeenth History", "Soldiers and Soldiers", "Records of Defending the City", etc., and the other is the "Book of Tigers" written by Xu Dong and the "Book of Quan" written by Su Xun, the father of Su Shi.

Among them, the "Seven Books of the Book of Martial Arts" refers to the seven military books of "The Art of War", "Wu Zi", "Sima Law", "Liutao", "Huangshi Gong Sanluo", "Wei Xuanzi", and "Li Weigong Asks the Right", and the "Seven Books of the Martial Arts" has been set as a compulsory subject of martial arts since Emperor Shenzong, and it is also a compulsory subject for martial arts.

If it weren't for Li Sanjian's lack of strength, Li Sanjian would have wanted to take the martial arts exam, and the martial arts strategy would definitely be much simpler than the liberal arts, Li Sanjian thought.

Li Sanjian doesn't want to be a general on the battlefield, Li Sanjian is just interested, and he can become a battlefield general with just a few military books? This is impossible, the book of war is dead, people are alive, if the book of war cannot be learned and used alive, and adapt to changes on the battlefield, then it is a soldier on paper, it is a figure like Zhao Kuo, Li Sanjian understands this very well.

In addition to the military book, Li Sanjian also developed a strong interest in the imperial court newspaper.

Although the imperial court strictly controlled the content published in the Di Bao, such as not reporting the secrets of the Di Bao, not reporting the secrets of the ministers without permission, not reporting the border guards without permission, and not allowing the reporting of natural disasters and supernatural events without permission, Li Sanjian was also able to see some major events in the court in recent years through some clues, so as to understand the trend of the imperial court's policies.

By watching the Di newspaper, Li Sanjian learned about the political achievements of the saint today, and Li Sanjian couldn't help but be impressed by Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu ascended the throne at the age of nine, that is, he had the ambition of inheriting his father and brother, and after the pro-government, he carried out the policy of "Shaoshu", being cautious and humble, seeking outspokenness, observing the people's hidden, caring for loneliness, raising the elderly, revitalizing the scarce, striving for governance, and implementing new policies, which is quite a bit of hard work.

Although the result was unsatisfactory, Zhao Xu still did it.

In particular, Zhao Xu's military achievements or achievements, that is, Zhao Xu launched two battles of Pingxia City during his reign, and fought a decisive battle with the Xirong party, and the first battle of Pingxia City has ended, and the second battle of Pingxia City is underway, and the Di newspaper said that it broke hundreds of thousands of troops in Western Xia and recovered a large number of old land of the Song Dynasty.

According to Li Sanjian, although the emperor sang praises for the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in the Di Bao, and although there are exaggerated elements in the Di Bao, the Song army should still have some good achievements in the Western Xia War.

"Li Hanren, what are you thinking?" At this time, Zhao Ji patted the book case with a ring ruler and interrupted Li Sanjian's train of thought.

Duan Wang Zhao Ji was just two years old, and his father Shenzong Zhao Ji returned to the sky, and his biological mother also passed away soon.

Zhao Ji was raised in the deep palace since he was born, and he was not released from the palace until he was more than ten years old, opened a mansion and built a house, and lived independently outside the palace.

Since then, Zhao Ji has been like a little tiger released from a cage, and like a fish entering the sea, free.

Zhao Ji likes calligraphy and painting, collects gold and stones, calls friends, and leads dogs, anyway, he does everything, except for one thing he has never done, that is, to be someone else's teacher.

Although Li Sanjian used to be the Xie Yuan of Guizhou, although he was still a little literary, compared with Zhao Ji, no matter what aspect, it was more than a star and a half, so at this time, after Li Sanjian "sent to the door", Zhao Ji unknowingly became Li Sanjian's "master", although he did not formally apprentice, but when Zhao Ji was idle and bored on weekdays, he would teach Li Sanjian some poetry and words, articles and scriptures.

Through long-term contact with Zhao Ji, Li Sanjian still admires Zhao Ji's ability.

The level of education of the royal family is really different from ordinary people, and Li Sanjian often sighs in his heart.

According to Li Sanjian, if Zhao Ji participates in the imperial court tribute, he will definitely achieve good results.

One is willing to teach, the other is willing to learn, the two hit it off and became a pair of people who seem to be friends but not friends, like master and apprentice but not master and apprentice.

Especially Zhao Ji, who was so happy that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and he was very attentive to teaching Li Sanjian to get up, which made the people in the palace extremely puzzled.

They haven't seen Duanwang Zhao Ji have such a heart for anyone...

"In the lower soul wandering outside the world, please forgive your highness." After Li Sanjian was awakened, he hurriedly replied.

"Soul wandering out of the world, scattered in the nine skies?" Zhao Ji smiled when he heard this: "You are really inattentive." ”

I am a dignified prince, and at this time I came to teach you to read and learn words, but he is good, and he can't keep his soul.

"Yes, yes, yes... His Highness taught that. Li Sanjian replied respectfully: "In the next... I just think that today's spring is bright, why don't you go out for a trip? ”

The most boring thing in the world is books, although Li Sanjian is inspirational again, but after reading for a long time, Li Sanjian still feels a little boring.

"Yes, yes, I feel depressed too." Zhao Ji said happily when he heard this. dog

"Li Hanren, please come with me." Zhao Ji then said after smiling mysteriously at Li Sanjian.

After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he dragged Li Sanjian and walked out.

"Your Highness, wait, wait, let me change my clothes." Li Sanjian was still wearing a robe at this time, and when he went out for activities, he had to change into short clothes to travel conveniently.

"What do you change?" Zhao Ji said impatiently: "Come on, bring clothes for this king and San Lang, go quickly, go quickly, change as you go." ”

Zhao Ji was aroused by Li Sanjian's interest, and his heart was suddenly itchy.

"Hey, yes... Ouch, Your Highness, slow down. Li Sanjian was almost dragged by Zhao Ji to fight.

Li Sanjian meant to go out and take a walk casually, where did he expect that Zhao Ji suddenly seemed so flustered...

What does he want to do? Li Sanjian secretly wondered in his heart.

。。。。。。。。

"Cai, Your Highness is exquisite."

"Yes, yes, the little one has never seen such a superb person since he was born."

"Get out of the way, do you thief know what Ju Yi is?"

"How did I not know? From a small point of view, His Royal Highness Ju Yi is invincible all over Beijing. . . ”

Zhao Ji dragged Li Sanjian to the palace with great interest, and summoned people to bow.

Zhao Ji had just come into contact with a leather bow, and the people above the bow field suddenly thundered, and burst into bursts of cheers.

Keju, also known as Keju, is a sport that the Song people love very much, and the folk even have a Keju Club and so on.

Before the Song Dynasty, the leather bow was solid and unusually bulky, but in the Song Dynasty, the leather bow was inflated, which was called beating, and the person who beat it added gas. It is to use the bladder of a cow or pig as the center of the ball, and after inflation, the outside is wrapped with cowhide, which has good bounce and is very suitable for Keju.

The Song people love Keju, and the people of the deep palace, especially the princes and princesses, also love and even fascinate them, and Zhao Ji is no exception.

Zhao Ji's bow art is good, but it's not good enough to make people cheer... Li Sanjian watched with interest as the people in the palace bowed to the cheers of the people in the palace.

Keju is a sport that requires high skill of the juju, in which in addition to kicking with the foot, the head, shoulders, buttocks, chest, abdomen, knees and other parts can catch the ball.

Make the leather bow rise and fall high and fall is called "flying", so that the leather bow undulates on the body is called "rolling", the patterns are unusually numerous, turning flower branches, meteors catching the moon, small out of the tip, big out of the tip, falling flowers and flowing water, eight immortals across the sea, kicking the heart of the flower and so on are varied, endless.

There are two main ways to play the art of juju, those with a bow door and those without a bow door, and the one with a goal is generally a single bow door.

"Drink..." After Zhao Ji flipped the ball, he let out a low shout, a flying kick, and Pi Ju went straight to the bow door like a meteor.

At this time, two bow poles with a height of three zhang are erected in the center of the bow field, and there is a bow door on the upper part of the bow rod of the mixed color knot, which is about one foot wide, and is called the merry eye, and the skin bow into the merry eye is judged to score.

In the bow field of Duanwang's Mansion, there is only one bow door.

Zhao Ji wore a long-legged hat, a red silk jacket, and black leggings.

Pi Ju also flew to the Ju Gate like a meteor catching the moon, and all the families in the palace were cheering, shouting and cheering desperately, and some of them were even so excited that they were almost dizzy and crumbling.

In an instant, everyone only heard a soft "bang", and Piju hit the side of the Merry Eye, only half an inch away from being shot into the Merry Eye, but unfortunately it was a millimeter and a thousand miles wrong, and Piju was half an inch away from hitting the Merry Eye, but because of this half an inch, Piju was bounced off by the bow door and rolled down into the dust.

Pity! Li Sanjian secretly regretted in his heart.

The princes of the palace looked at each other at this time, and did not dare to cheer loudly, only a few people who were slow to react or whose brains had been kicked by a donkey were still cheering loudly.

Zhao Ji's face suddenly became extremely ugly at this time.

It's a shame to be thrown home, Zhao Ji's face is pale, it is extremely ugly, and the most important thing is that some dumb people are still applauding at this time, which makes Zhao Ji extremely angry.

"Haha... Ha... Tsk tsk... At this moment, a laugh suddenly came from the side of the bow, causing everyone who had become quiet to turn their heads to look together.

Yes? It's him? Li Sanjian also turned his head, only to see that the person who laughed was actually him?

This person is not a sophomore in high school, who is it?
