Chapter 246: Ice Hockey
Li Linfu has served Li Longji carefully for many years, and his ability to observe words and emotions is still very clever, if he thinks that he is the second in the Tang Dynasty, absolutely no one dares to admit the first. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He could naturally see that Ang Li despised An Lushan, and An Lushan seemed to be at a loss, a little confused, and didn't understand why others despised him.
"An Jieshuai, this is my young talent of the Tang Dynasty, General Li An, General Li, this is An Jieshuai, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu."
Li Linfu pretended not to know anything, and enthusiastically introduced Li An and An Lushan to each other.
"Ang Lee, he is Ang Lee."
An Lushan had obviously heard of Ang Lee's name for a long time, and An Qingzong was beaten up by Ang Lee, and his impression of Ang Lee was even deeper.
At this moment, An Qingzong's eyes when he looked at Li An were filled with an irrepressible anger, as if he wanted to immediately break Li An's body into ten thousand pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Li Linfu had insight into everything, but he still pretended not to know anything, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "General Li pacified the rebellion in the land, and Marshal An Jieshuai led the army in Yingzhou to break the two rebels, both of whom are loyal ministers and good generals of my Tang Dynasty, and they have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty!" Hey, you don't seem to know each other yet! ”
An Lushan endured his anger and said coldly: "It turned out to be General Li, what a young talent!" ”
Li An said sideways: "Don't dare, the name of An Jieshuai has already been thunderous in the next place, I heard that the children in Yingzhou stopped crying as soon as they heard the name of An Jieshuai." ”
"Where did General Li hear these rumors, this section commander has always loved the people."
An Lushan's face was even more angry, and Li An's words just now were tantamount to describing him as a great traitor who did all kinds of evil, so that children didn't dare to cry because they were afraid of An Lushan.
"Right Phase, see Right Phase, oh, An Jieshuai is also there!"
At this moment, a group of ministers rushed over and hurriedly greeted Li Linfu and An Lushan, while Li An took advantage of the situation to turn around and move away more than ten steps and disengage from everyone.
Li Linfu greeted the officials for a while, looked at An Lushan, who had been following him, and whispered: "General Li is from Yingzhou, and An Jieshuai has also been serving in Yingzhou, and An Jieshuai really hasn't seen General Li before?" ”
"Enxiang, there are many people in Yingzhou, I can't know them all, but the people in Yingzhou should all know me."
"Okay, okay, I'll go over there and have a look."
Li Linfu found that several colleagues from the political hall had all come, and hurriedly strode over to say hello.
An Lushan did not follow, and stepped back to look at An Qingzong and Shi Cuigan, but saw An Qingzong glaring angrily in the direction where Li An was.
"Da Lang, do you know this Ang Lee?"
An Qingzong said angrily: "Father, when I was on the streets of Yingzhou, it was this kid who beat me to a serious injury, and I recognized it when I turned it into ashes. ”
"It's such a coincidence."
An Lushan didn't expect that Li An was actually the murderer who injured his son back then.
"Father, according to Erchen's understanding, Liu Luogu was killed by this Li An, and the sacred bird we dedicated to His Majesty was also cooked by Li An, and this person has been fighting against us since he beat the child."
An Qingzong angrily reported to An Lushan.
An Lushan naturally knew about Liu Luogu for a long time, and also knew that Liu Luogu was killed by Li An, but a year had passed, and he had complicated things in Yingzhou, so he gradually forgot most of Liu Luogu's affairs.
"It's really unreasonable, where did I offend him, why did he oppose me everywhere, just the way he looked at me just now, it wasn't quite right, no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to look at me like this."
An Lushan was furious, but there were too many officials on the scene, and he didn't dare to show too much.
Shi Kuigan said softly: "Jie Shuai, why did you forget, this Li An is Li Wu's son!" ”
"Li Wu, which Li Wu!"
"Jieshuai, that is, the captain who was not very obedient at the beginning and was eliminated by Jieshuai, it has been several years, and Jieshuai may really not remember."
Shi Rangan reminded in a low voice.
"Hehe, it turned out to be his son, what kind of father there is, what kind of son he has."
An Lushan said viciously.
Just when An Lushan and the three of them were talking about Li An, Li An was standing on a high ground, looking down on the entire Taiye Pool, and enjoying the scenery could make him feel much better.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
With a high shout, Emperor Li Longji came to the side of the Taiye Pool, surrounded by a large group of eunuchs and palace maids and guards.
Suddenly, all the courtiers bowed down to Li Longji and cheered long live, long live, long live.
Li Longji seemed to be in a good mood, walked down lightly from the step, and waved to the courtiers, asking them to get up.
Immediately afterwards, there was naturally another sound of thanksgiving, and then all the courtiers got up one after another and gathered in front of Li Longji.
It was afternoon at this time, and there was still some time before it got dark, and Li Longji chose this time to gather all the courtiers to come to the party, so that the courtiers could enjoy both the daytime program and the night program.
"Everyone, the show is ready and ready to start."
Yu Chaoen whispered.
Li Longji nodded lightly: "Okay, then let's start!" ”
As the order was given, two teams of ten skiers appeared in front of everyone, wearing red and blue clothes respectively, looking distinct.
In the middle of these two teams, there is a small red ball, and behind the two teams are two goals, and the position of the goal is still standing with the defenders.
This is obviously the hockey game of the future! It's just that this is still very different from the ice hockey games of later generations, the number of people is different, and the equipment is not the same.
According to Ang Lee's understanding, there was no ice hockey in this era in the Tang Dynasty, but there was polo, but since Ang Lee invented skis, history has quietly changed, and the smart Datang people created the sport of ice hockey on the basis of skis, just like the invention of polo with war horses.
But what happens when you play ice hockey with something as bulky as skis and snowboards? Ang Lee was very curious.
With a whistle, the two teams began to compete, and the nimble skiers flew up and down the smooth ice, hitting the ball with their modified ski poles to move it in the designated direction.
I have to say that these two teams are still training very well, almost all of them are agile, but they have the appearance of a game, and it is very exciting.
"Okay, okay."
Li Longji took the lead in applauding, and all the ministers naturally followed suit.
As long as he saw a certain team score, Li Longji stood up even more excitedly, and all the courtiers also stood up and cheered loudly in order to make the emperor happy.
"Your Majesty, what kind of ball is this, it's the first time I've seen such a wonderful ball game."
Li Linfu stood beside Li Longji and asked in a low voice.
"Oh, this is a snowball team that I have specially trained, we have been training for more than two months, and today is the first official competition, and you are fortunate to have caught up."
Li Longji seems to be in a good mood.
"The minister remembers that last winter, General Li led a team around the Taiye Pool, and the minister thought it was very exciting at that time, but now His Majesty has let these skiers play on the ice, which is much more interesting and exciting than going around the circle."
Li Linfu said with a smile.
"Haha! If it weren't for General Lee's invention of skis, I wouldn't have imagined playing on the ice, which is much more exciting than polo. ”
Li Longji was suddenly stunned as he spoke: "Right Minister, where is General Li?" He must have been invited! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, General Li was the first to arrive here, oh, he's over there."
Li Linfu said, stretching out his hand to the right front, Li An, who was watching the ball game intently.
Li Longji said softly, "Let him come over." ”
"Yes, everybody."
Yu Chaoen responded, walked behind Li An, and patted Li An's shoulder: "General Li, Your Majesty called you over." ”
Li An was stunned for a moment, hurriedly turned around and walked towards Li Longji, and bent down to salute.
"General Li, half of the credit to me for being able to think of playing on the ice is yours."
Li Longji pointed at Li An and said.
"Your Majesty means, is it that Weichen invented the snowboard?"
Ang Lee could certainly guess the reason.
Li Longji smiled: "That's right, two months ago, I watched a polo game in Xiyuan, and then I came here to watch these people skiing, at that time, I suddenly thought that I could play on the ice, and let these people practice day and night, and they really didn't disappoint me." ”
"It's Your Majesty who is very intelligent, and there are many ministers who have seen Weichen skiing, but none of them have thought of combining skiing and polo, only Your Majesty has thought of it."
When Ang Lee came to Datang, he actually learned to pat on the back.
"Your Majesty is wise, I can't wait far away."
Several important ministers were all humbly patted on the back.
The next game was more interesting, almost every time the red team scored, the blue team always managed to pull a goal back through some effort, and then the red team scored again, and the blue team immediately caught up, which can be described as biting very tight, and the gap was very small.
This gives Ang Lee a feeling of match-fixing, only match-fixing will cooperate so tacitly, Ang Lee feels that these two teams do not care about winning or losing, but on the excitement of the game.
Any game is only as close as the two sides are evenly matched, and if it is a one-sided game, any viewer can guess the ending, so what's the point?
Li Ang had to admire the ski team members of these competitions, they knew that Emperor Li Longji liked to watch exciting competitions, so the two teams must have discussed a long time ago to make the competition as exciting as possible, so as to make Li Longji happy and get a higher reward for himself.
Sure enough, as soon as the game ended, Li Longji ordered the two teams to be rewarded heavily, so that the players participating in the competition gained a lot.
After the race, the two teams circled the Taiye Pool and skated three laps at the fastest speed, allowing Li Longji and the ministers to experience the thrill of speed, and then quietly retreated.
The second show is juggling, which is similar to the juggling of later generations, but the costumes are more ornate and the show is more exciting.
After the end of the two programs, the sky also darkened, under the leadership of Li Longji, everyone went to the nearby hall to sit down, according to the level of the official position, they sat in different positions, the higher the official and the closer the distance from Li Longji, of course, there are some special, for example, Li An's position is arranged in a relatively high position, which is comparable to the minister.
After entering the main hall, a large number of palace maids began to serve food, starting with Li Longji, and successively served plates of delicious dishes to the cases in front of the ministers.
The banquet of Datang is not the same as that of later generations, where more than ten people sit at a table, eating the same dish and drinking the same bottle of wine, while Datang has a separate small table for each person, which is filled with all kinds of dishes, and these dishes are obviously one person.
Li An felt that the banquet style of Datang was more hygienic, but it was also more wasteful, there were too many dishes in front of everyone, and due to the limited area of the table, too many dishes could not be served at one time.
What made Ang Lee feel the most unhappy was that the Datang banquet was actually eaten on his knees, which was much more uncomfortable than sitting, but fortunately, Ang Lee had been in Datang for a year, so he was still more accustomed to it.
Looking at the six stacks of side dishes and a pot of wine on the table, Li An's stomach suddenly growled, in order to wait for this banquet, he ate very little breakfast, let alone lunch, at this time, he was already hungry.
However, as long as Li Longji doesn't say that the banquet has started, Li An can't move chopsticks casually.
After Li Longji raised his glass, all the ministers followed suit, and then the banquet officially began.
The emperor's huge banquet, singing and dancing are naturally indispensable, the banquet has just begun, a large group of palace maids with outstanding appearance entered the main hall of the banquet, and danced, and there are dozens of musicians playing music on one side.
The ministers pushed their glasses and talked to each other, while Ang Lee put all his energy into eating and drinking, although there were only six plates of side dishes at the beginning, but each plate was a high-quality product, and some of them were ingredients that Ang Lee had never seen before.
For these delicacies, Ang Lee has only one principle, that is, eat, eat them all.
After a few songs and dances, hot dishes were served, three plates per person, all meat dishes, which looked greasy and very tempting.
Li An hurriedly stacked the six plates that he had eaten empty, and after taking three plates of meat dishes, he placed the six plates on the plate in the palace maid's hand, which made the palace maid look at Li An in surprise.
After all, Li An is so strange, other ministers only eat half of each plate at most, and even, only one bite, while Li An actually eats six dishes cleanly.
Although the amount of cold dishes is not much, it is not possible for ordinary people to eat all six plates of cold dishes in such a short time.
"General Li really has such an appetite! Ha ha! ”
"I really envy General Li! Ha ha! ”
The minister, who was sitting near Ang Lee, saw that Ang Lee was eating so cleanly, and greeted Ang Lee with a smile, and Ang Lee could only respond with a smile.
Of course, if these ministers knew that Ang Lee had been hungry for almost the whole day in order to eat this big meal, they would probably laugh even more. (To be continued.) )
