Chapter 79 Associations

Wanyan Hongyan originally wanted to use Wanyan Kang as a breakthrough in the court, and stepped on Wanyan Honglie's kick, but he didn't expect that the result would be a big defeat and loss.

As the saying goes, stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice.

Wanyan Hongyan this time, not only is it a loss of rice, it is simply a chicken steal, and he lost his head!

Originally, among the six sons of Zhangzong, the most promising to inherit the great treasure were Wanyan Hongyan, the king of Yan, and Wanyan Honglie, the king of Zhao. In terms of talent, it is naturally Wanyan Honglie who is more prosperous, but after Wanyan Hongyan got the help of Wanyan Yongji, the great Zongzheng, his power has increased greatly. Over the past few years, the momentum has steadily overshadowed Yan Honglie.

This time, Wanyan Hongyan took the opportunity to attack, and wanted to overturn Wanyan Honglie in one fell swoop, even if it was not good, at least he would step on it in front of the emperor.

The result is counterproductive!

Wanyan Kangdian's prelude is right, and the football in Wanyan Hongyan's mouth that brings disaster to the country and the people is a weapon for the benefit of the country and the army, this remark is reasonable, well-founded and modest, which makes Wanyan Hongyan speechless, but sets off that his Royal Highness King Yan is a narrow-minded person who does not read history books.

Although Wan Yan Jing did not explicitly reprimand Wan Yan Hongyan, his impression of this son in his heart had plummeted, and he loved Wan Yan Kang, the imperial grandson, even more.

Wanyan Hongyan lost the emperor's heart, not to mention, but also made countless enemies. He criticized the football for nothing, which is equivalent to firing a map cannon at the Manchu civil and military forces. The princes and ministers who were originally on his side were just that, and those neutral civil and military nobles, after this time, most of them thought about leaning on King Zhao's side.

Especially Li Xi'er, she hated Yan Hongyan to death in her heart, and kept muttering in her heart, when Lao Tzu seized the opportunity, he must make this guy look good!

Originally, Li Xi'er was in the court, and the two did not stand on the side. occupies his sister's imperial favor, who is not allowed to let him score three points. Although Li Xier played football with Wan Yankang, and had to be commensurate with Wan Yankang's brothers under the rise, in fact, it was just for fun, not completely leaning on Wan Yan Honglie's side in politics.

But on this day, in the court, as soon as Yan Hongyan's map cannon was released, Li Xi'er was bombarded into the opponent's camp.

Wan Yan Jing pulled Wan Yan Kang into the Warm Fragrance Palace, and compared Wan Yan Kang's literary and historical homework, and the result was of course extremely satisfying.

After Yan Jing chatted and chatted, he suddenly remembered something: "I heard that these days, because of this new-style Keju competition, there are still a lot of disputes in the city, but is there such a thing?" ”

Wan Yankang already had a draft on this matter, and immediately replied respectfully after listening to it: "Back to the emperor's grandfather's words, because the way this football is played is very different from the Song Kingdom's juju, physical collision is indispensable, and it is inevitable that there will be some conflicts, especially the subordinates of the nobles, there are indeed a lot of disputes." ”

Wan Yanjing frowned and said, "Why don't you use the kicking method of returning to the Song Kingdom?" ”

Wan Yankang cleared his throat and smiled slightly: "Grandpa Huang doesn't need to worry, about this matter, my grandson has already made a plan!" ”

Wan Yan Jing saw that he looked confident, so he asked him to come quickly.

Wanyankang's method, to put it simply, is to move the league system of later generations.

In the entire central capital, there are three leagues, A, B and C, each with a different number of teams participating in different levels of leagues.

There are 28 first-class teams, corresponding to the meaning of 28 constellations.

There are 36 second-division teams, corresponding to the meaning of 36 Tiangang.

There are 72 teams in the third division, corresponding to the meaning of 72 earthly evils.

Due to the cold weather in the north, the season is only eight months, from April to November. At the end of each season, points are calculated based on the team's record, completely copying the model of promoted and relegated teams.

At the end of each season, the last four teams in the First Division drop to the Second Division. At the same time, the four teams with the highest points in the second division advance. The bottom six teams in the second division drop to the third division, and the six teams with the highest points in the third division advance.

After the league system is established and there is a clear mode of operation, the competition of each team will no longer be open at the same time, and everything must be run in accordance with the rules.

If a team violates the rules, points will be deducted for minor violations, relegation will be direct in serious cases, and even direct disqualification from all leagues.

Under the constraints of many rules, the fights caused by kicking football will naturally decrease sharply, and the problem that the emperor Lao Er is worried about will be solved.

Wan Yanjing heard this, set up a league, standardize the team, should an organization be set up to manage, which department should this institution belong to, the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Industry?

Something seems wrong.

Do you want to add more establishments and spend the court money and food?

Wan Yankang hurriedly answered, saying that it is necessary to set up a special agency to manage the football league, but it is better for this institution not to be included in the official management, and only need a non-governmental spontaneous organization.

This football, although it can benefit the country and strengthen the army, after all, in the current understanding of the people, it is still an amusement project, and the football league is directly managed by the official and slightly out of line, and it is inevitable that some people will criticize it as a move to work the people and lose money.

Wan Yanjing felt that it was reasonable, and finally decided that Wan Yankang would take the lead in establishing the Football Association, and Wan Yankang would be the president.

Wan Yanjing still has some concerns, worried that the establishment of this unofficial association must be a lot of expenses, since the money can't be spent from the household, what should be good, you can't ask your good grandson to put money inside.

Wan Yankang immediately stated that as long as the emperor is willing to delegate power and let the football association raise its own funds and bear its own profits and losses, these are not a thing.

Wan Yanjing looked at this grandson's high-spirited appearance, how could there be any reason not to allow it, anyway, he didn't have to take a penny of silver from the treasury, and he didn't need to allow half of his official position to go out!

When Wan Yankang walked out of the palace gate, the smile on his face still couldn't be hidden.

Wan Yan Jing thought that this emperor might have to pay out of his own pocket to run this Lao Shizi's football association, but Wan Yan Kang was already happy in his heart.

The football industry in later generations has fed many people and created many stars.

Which president of the Football Association is not a wealthy man.

What's more, this thing is the first time that a big girl has been in a sedan chair.

What business is best to do, of course, is a monopoly!

Wan Yankang knew in his heart that this football industry would be such a big plate of cake, and he would definitely not be able to eat it alone. Even if you eat it alone now, after a long time, the profits will be exposed and everyone will be blushing, and the powerful will inevitably find ways to come and share it.

Rather than that, it's better to divide the cake beforehand.

When Wanyan Kang returned to the palace, he sent someone to send seven posts out, and invited some princes and nobles to the banquet in the name of Wanyan Honglie.

Who are the people invited by Wan Yankang?

There are Jing Wang Wan Yan Hongjing, Rong Wang Wan Yan Hongxi, Pingzhang Political Affairs Wan Yan Shouzhen, Shangshu Right Cheng Xu Zhiguo, Hubu Shangshu Yang Botong, Zhi Daxing Mansion Shi Ni Pang Gujian, Privy Council Deputy Envoy Li Xi'er and others.

Wanyan Hongjing and Wanyan Hongxi, the two emperors and princes, needless to say, among the rest of the people, Wanyan Shouzhen, the Pingzhang political affairs, is the position of the prime minister, Shangshu Youcheng is the deputy prime minister, Yang Botong, the head of the household Shangshu, is in charge of the money bag, Nipang Gujian is the chief official of Daxing Mansion, and he is a feudal official.

These princes and ministers invited by Wanyan Kang are all on good terms with Wanyan Honglie, at least they are neutral in the court, and they have formed a football team at home.

Wanyan Honglie set up a banquet in the mansion, greeted everyone, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After three rounds of drinking, Wanyan Hongxi took a little bit of alcohol, patted Wanyan Honglie's shoulder, and said: "Sixth brother, what did you ask me to wait for the banquet today, but I was coerced by that guy to take revenge, let the brothers stand up for you!" When Wanyan Hongxi said that, his hand pointed to the northwest, which was where Wanyan Hongyan's Yanwang Mansion was located.

After hearing Yan Hongxi's words, Wanyan Hongjing and Wanyan Shouzhen and the others at the table became a little serious, thinking that Wanyan Honglie was they who came to stand in line, thinking that there was really no good banquet, so they thought about planning to slip away.

Wanyan Honglie's eyes swept away, and everyone's reactions were in full view, and he sighed in his heart, knowing that today's temporary dominance in the court could not let these neutral forces immediately lean towards him. He didn't show disappointment on his face, and said with a smile: "No, no, although it is Honglie to invite you today, in fact, the person who is the east is my unsuccessful child." ”

Wanyan Kang Shi Shiran got up and arched his hand to the left and right: "Two uncles, my lords, Kang Tang suddenly invited you to the banquet today, but on the order of the emperor's grandfather, he wanted to set up a football association to standardize my Dajin's football team." It's just that Kang is young and ignorant, and he is afraid that he will not be able to manage this football association and betray the trust of the emperor's grandfather, so he begged his father to invite you over, hoping to help the boy. ”

After hearing Yan Kang's words, everyone was relieved and expressed their full support.

Wan Yankang saw that although everyone said it well, but the look on his face was mostly perfunctory, obviously these princes and ministers had not realized the energy of this football association after its establishment, so Wan Yankang patiently recounted his respective ideas for establishing the league.

For a while, the amount of information released by Yan Kang was too large, and everyone was still digesting it, Li Xi'er, the player, had already understood a little powerful, he clapped his hands and laughed: "Brother, this football association, you must leave a position as vice president for the eldest brother!" ”

"Big brother?" Everyone was amazed.

Li Xi'er came to her senses and hurriedly snorted: "I like to talk nonsense on weekdays, slips of the tongue, slips of the tongue!" ”
